Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi arrived in Islamabad on Friday on a four-day visit for talks on security, economic and trade issues.
Prior to his departure from Kabul, Afghan Foreign Ministry Deputy Spokesman Hafiz Zia Takkal said FM Muttaqi will lead a “comprehensive political and trade delegation”.
“The Afghan government wants to hold wide-ranging bilateral talks on political, economic relations, regional security and transit,” he added.
A day earlier, the Foreign Office (FO) had said that Muttaqi will lead a high-level delegation, which includes the Acting Minister for Commerce and Industry Haji Nooruddin Azizi, and senior officials from the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Transport and Trade.
The FO had also said the two sides will review the entire spectrum of bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the political, economic, trade, connectivity, peace and security, and education domains.
