ceasefire negotiations
Armistice diplomacy efforts
Ceasefire negotiations are diplomatic talks aimed at stopping active hostilities between warring parties.
The goal is agreement to halt fighting, at least temporarily, while broader peace terms are worked out.
Ceasefire negotiations broke down after the latest bombing.
Unlike peace talks, ceasefire negotiations focus narrowly on ending immediate violence rather than resolving underlying disputes.
