Islamabad and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan agree to extend ceasefire

Pakistani authorities and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have agreed to extend the current ceasefire for an indefinite time period until peace talks, being held in Kabul, conclude. 
The talks, facilitated by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) have resulted in the extension of the ceasefire between the Pakistan government and TTP on two occasions.
Talks between the two parties are being moderated by Haqqani Network chief Sirajuddin Haqqani. 
In contrast to previous failed negotiations, the Pakistan government delegation expressed and demonstrated its seriousness this time, as it agreed to some of TTP demands, which would work better towards confidence-building measures for formal and more structured negotiations.The post Islamabad and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan agree to extend ceasefire first appeared on Ariana News.
