Negotiations in Pakistan ended more quickly than expected despite major disagreements, according to Isak Svensson, a professor at Uppsala University. Svensson noted that early endings can be part of a strategic game rather than a definitive breakdown, as reported by Sveriges Radio Nyheter. The specific disagreements that led to the early conclusion, the parties involved, and the subject or goal of the talks remain unclear.
It is also unknown whether the early ending indicates a failure or a tactical pause, or if there are plans to resume the negotiations in the future. The current talks in Pakistan lasted 21 hours, according to official sources. In contrast, previous negotiations, such as the JCPOA agreement in 2015, took two years, as confirmed by official reports.
This comparison highlights the brevity of the recent discussions, which experts like Svensson interpret as potentially strategic, leaving open questions about the next steps in the diplomatic process.
