armistice talks
Peace negotiation meetings
Armistice talks are negotiations aimed at halting armed conflict, typically resulting in a ceasefire rather than a permanent peace treaty.
The talks address immediate concerns—where fighting stops, prisoner exchanges, boundary lines—without resolving underlying disputes: The armistice talks dragged on for months while fighting continued.
The Korean War ended with armistice talks in 1953, technically leaving the war unfinished.
