By Asif Shahzad KABUL / ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Thursday that Islamabad was ready to hold talks with Afghanistan to resolve their conflict, as a temporary ceasefire that halted days of fierce fighting between the former allies largely held.

Afghanistan and Pakistan said they had agreed a 48-hour ceasefire on Wednesday, following days of deadly clashes between the neighbors and former allies.

ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry on Saturday said that the only viable path to resolving tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan lies in Kabul’s full compliance with the Doha Agreement, which explicitly bars the use of Afghan territory for terrorist activities against any country.

Suspected Pakistani air strikes hit Kabul, the Afghan capital, on October 15. The deadly strikes have terrified residents, who fear more attacks amid tensions with neighboring Pakistan.

Following the attack and loss of lives Afghanistan withdrew from the upcoming tri-nation T20I series in Pakistan.
