Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif says his government is trying to revive stalled peace talks between the representatives of Afghan government and the Taleban.
Sharif, speaking at a televised news conference on Saturday, said Islamabad was once again prepared to play mediator to end the Taleban's 14-year war against Kabul.
Pakistan hosted a landmark set of meetings between the two sides in July. But a second round of scheduled talks was postponed after the Afghan government revealed that Taleban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar had been dead for two years. Since then the Taleban briefly overran the northern Afghan city of Kunduz in an embarrassing blow to President Ashraf Ghani's government.
