A trilateral meeting of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Britain was held in Bahrain with delegates from the three sides discussing a reduction in violence in Afghanistan, reports Tolo News on March 11. “In the meetings being held between Pakistan and US officials, or between Afghan and Pakistani officials--like the one in Bahrain--one of the key points is the issue of a ceasefire. If you see the letter of the US secretary of state, in the letter, too, an emphasis was made on the ceasefire, as well as in the peace plan presented by Zalmay Khalilzad. One of the three main items was the ceasefire,” said Pakistani journalist Tahir Khan.
