truce negotiations
Discussing stopping hostilities
Truce negotiations are formal discussions between opposing sides in a conflict aimed at establishing a ceasefire or temporary halt to hostilities.
The phrase implies ongoing warfare and diplomatic efforts to pause it: Truce negotiations between the warring factions have stalled.
Unlike peace negotiations, which seek permanent resolution, truce negotiations focus on stopping the fighting, often as a first step toward broader talks.
