By Asif Shahzad and Sayed Hassib ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Istanbul to broker a long-term truce have ended without a resolution, two sources familiar with the matter said on Tuesday,

The dispute centers on Islamabad's demand for assurances that Afghan soil won't be used for attacks against Pakistan. Despite Turkey's mediation, no breakthrough has been reached, though the ceasefire brokered earlier in Doha remains intact.

Peace talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan have hit an impasse in Istanbul after three days of negotiations, according to state media in both countries

Pakistan and Afghanistan continue third day of peace talks in Istanbul as clashes along the border test the ceasefire and stall progress.

The much-anticipated peace talks between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban in Istanbul have dramatically collapsed, plunging bilateral relations to a new low and leaving mediators from Qatar and Turkey stunned at the breakdown.

Officials from Afghanistan’s Taliban government, its defence ministry, and Pakistan’s army and foreign ministries have not yet commented publicly on the failed negotiations.

According to sources, Pakistan remained firm on the “reasonable demands it has presented”, but the Afghan Taliban delegation was not fully willing to accept them”

Peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Istanbul ended without resolution. The failure endangers the ceasefire brokered earlier as each side blames the other for the impasse. Clashes have erupted,
