The Dialogue Committee informed the Rahbar Committee after consulting Prime Minister Imran Khan.
After the talks, Defence Minister Pervaiz Khattak said that the talks remained inconclusive; however, the dialogues will continue. “No decision could be made today. It will be made during the next sessions,” he said.
