Pakistani and Afghan delegations met on Monday in the first senior-level talks aimed at reducing tensions at the Torkham border.
"A six-member Afghan delegation is being led by Afghan Deputy Foreign Minister Hekmat Khalil Karzai," the Dawn quoted the Foreign Office Spokesman Nafees Zakaria, as saying.
Zakaria added that the Pakistani side was being led by Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry.
Both sides will review all aspects of border issues and evolve a mechanism for better border management.
Earlier this month, the Torkham border was closed due to the clash which claimed four lives on both sides had started because of a dispute over the construction of the border gate.
