Pakistan has decided to give diplomacy and dialogue yet another chance to solve problems, including the presence of terrorism in Afghanistan with the temporary Taliban government. The decision was made at a meeting that was chairman of Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Monday.

“Pakistan’s special representative of Afghanistan, Ambassador Muhammad Sadiq, provided a detailed orientation about his recent visit to Kabul, which highlighted key raises with Afghan authorities and discussions of bilateral cooperation,” read an official distribution issued by the Foreign Office.

Foreign Minister Dar emphasized the importance of “sustained dialogue with the preliminary Afghan government to tackle Pakistan’s concerns and promote bilateral relations,” the statement added.

The move came after Ambassador Sadiq gave his recommendations on how to pursue relationships with Afghanistan. He gave a positive assessment of his journey to Kabul.

The relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan has remained strained for months primarily over the presence of banned Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the neighboring country.

Islamabad has linked the spik in terrorist attacks in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces with terrorist shrugs in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Office on Monday issued a detailed statement of Ambassador Sadiq’s visit to Kabul. The statement explicitly avoided mentioning TTP and cross -border terrorist attacks. Instead, the language was more settlement.

“The special representative called on the acting Foreign Minister in Afghanistan, Amir Khan Muttaqi, on March 22.” During the meeting, both sides exchanged views on all issues of mutual concern, including peace and security, trade and financial cooperation as well as human-to-human contacts. “

According to the statement, the special representative of Pakistan’s obligation to continued commitment and mutually advantageous ties with Afghanistan confirmed and emphasized the importance of tackling all questions of concern, especially security, to further consolidate bilateral ties.

Both sides agreed to improve high -level and dialogue engagement to strengthen bilateral cooperation.

The two sides also reinforced the obligation to a mutually advantageous bilateral relationship in order to achieve lasting regional peace and stability. The special representative also met with acting Afghan Minister of Commerce Nooruddin Azizi.

Both sides discussed bilateral trade and financial connections as well as collaboration in transit and connection. The special representative confirmed Pakistan’s obligation to strengthen mutually advantageous ties with Afghanistan.

The two sides agreed to exploit the full potential of regional trade and connection to mutual benefit for both countries. “When he returned, the special representative informed FM about his meetings with the Afghan leadership.
