Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif warned today, Saturday, that failure to reach a peace agreement with Afghanistan could lead to an open war.
Asif explained that his country believes Afghanistan desires peace, but the failure to reach an agreement during the ongoing talks in Istanbul will increase the likelihood of armed conflict.
This warning comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to ease tensions between the two sides.
