In a major development, Pakistan and Afghanistan on Friday mutually agreed to extend their 48-hour ceasefire until the conclusion of planned talks in Doha, Reuters reported, citing sources. A Pakistani delegation had already arrived in Doha while an Afghan delegation was expected to reach the Qatari capital on Saturday, the sources said, who did not want to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media. A temporary truce between the neighbours, which Pakistan agreed to at the request of Afghanistan, on Wednesday paused days of fierce fighting that killed dozens and wounded hundreds.
