are facilitating the government of Pakistain in its talks with groups such as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP), also known as Pak Taliban.
Mansoor Ahmad Khan, Pakistain’s ambassador to Kabul, was cited in a report by Pak media saying that the Afghan Taliban were seeking to reconcile the government of Pakistain and TTP and restore their relations, on 19th July.
The negotiation process, according to ambassador Mansoor Ahmad Khan, is still in progress, and the Pak government is "grateful" to the Afghan Taliban for their cooperation in preserving international peace.
Blaming India, the ambassador said that gunnies operating inside Afghanistan for over the past 20 years are sponsored, trained, and supported by India.
The Afghan Taliban are hosting the Pak Taliban in this third round of talks with the government of Pakistain, according to the Pak diplomat.
The first round of negotiations between the Pak parties and the Afghan Taliban mediator was reportedly futile according to Pak officials.
However,

the second round of negotiations between the Pak parties with the Taliban mediation was successful, as it secured a temporary ceasefire between the parties.
The Taliban have yet to respond to Ahmed Khan’s statement.
This comes as Pakistain’s ambassador urged the international community to step up engagement with the Taliban to avert the growing threat of economic collapse, which is aggravated by severe hunger and unemployment.
