ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Pakistani Taliban announced a monthlong cease-fire on Saturday and urged the government to revive peace talks that broke down last month.

Shahidullah Shahid, the spokesman of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, the umbrella organization of militants, urged the government to join the cease-fire and instructed all militant groups in the country to comply with the truce.

“The senior leadership directs all constituents and groups to respect and fully abide by the cease-fire declaration and restrain themselves from all kinds of jihadist activities,” the Taliban spokesman said in a statement.

Publicly, Pakistani government officials welcomed the cease-fire and indicated that the peace talks, which began last month but were soon suspended, could be revived as soon as next week. But there was no official reaction from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s office or the military.
