Amid ongoing peace talks in Turkey, tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban-led Afghan government have escalated, marked by recent Pakistani attacks on Afghan territories. Despite a ceasefire signed on October 19 in Doha, the second round of negotiations in Istanbul failed to yield a lasting agreement, necessitating further dialogue. Concurrently, Russian support for the Taliban has emerged, with significant discussions on Afghanistan’s reintegration into regional economic frameworks. In response to the evolving situation, India continues to engage diplomatically, focusing on agricultural capacity building in Afghanistan. This highlights India’s commitment to regional stability and development, contrasting with Pakistan’s aggressive posture, which risks further destabilizing the region and complicating peace efforts.
