He is accompanied by a high -level delegation that includes domestic secretary, railway secretary and senior representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Federal Board of Revenue.

During the visit, Dar is expected to meet the acting Afghan Prime Minister Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund and other important temporary officials.

Negotiations will include a meeting with the Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, with formal negotiations taking place at the delegation level.

“The visit reflects Pakistan’s continued commitment to a stable and cooperative relationship with Afghanistan,” the ministry said.

“During the day -long visit, he will call the Afghan acting Prime Minister; Meeting Afghan -acting Deputy Prime Minister of Economic Affairs; and holds talks at the delegation level with acting foreign minister,” spokesman for the Foreign Office Shafqat Ali Khan earlier to journalists.

According to Khan, the meetings will cover the entire scope of the relationship between Pakistan-Afghanistan with a focus on strengthening cooperation in security, trade, regional connection and contacts with people.

He described the visit as a confirmation of Pakistan’s obligation to sustained commitment with Afghanistan.

In response to a question, Khan said all key problems – including concern over terrorist ports – will be discussed. He confirmed that Pakistan has consistently raised the issue of shrines and would continue to seek a constructive decision.
