Afghanistan on Wednesday announced it was ready to agree to a full ceasefire and resolve all issues through dialogue with Pakistan, in a bid to ease tensions between the two neighbours.

According to a statement from Afghan authorities, the agreement includes a complete ceasefire, mutual respect, a ban on attacks against each other’s security forces, civilians, and infrastructure, and a commitment to settle all disputes through dialogue.

The recent fighting began after deadly blasts in Kabul on October 9. The Taliban government blamed Pakistan and launched retaliatory strikes, sparking a series of border clashes that resulted in casualties on both sides, including soldiers and civilians.

A temporary 48-hour ceasefire was announced last Wednesday, followed by a second truce on Sunday after fresh Pakistani airstrikes targeted what Islamabad described as militant hideouts in Afghanistan — claims that Kabul denies.
