Senior US and NATO officials including US Special Representative for Afghan Reconciliation Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and Commander of NATO’s Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan Gen Scott Miller, called on Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa, the ISPR said on Thursday.
According to Inter-Sevices Public Relations (ISPR), matters related to mutual interest, peace and stability in the region; Pak-Afghan border management; and current developments in the Afghan peace process were discussed during the meeting held at the General Headquarter in Rawalpindi.
“Special Representative for Afghanistan Ambassador Mohammad Sadiq was also present,” the military’s media wing said. The visiting dignitaries appreciated Pakistan’s positive role for the progress of the Afghan peace process, the ISPR added.
The development comes after Taliban and Afghan peace negotiators set new ground rules as they negotiate to bring an end to decades of war to safeguard against the risk of any breakdown in long-sought peace talks that kickstarted last month in Qatar.
A British wire service, while quoting sources, reported that the breakthrough was achieved with the help of US officials. The two sides drew up 19 ground rules that their negotiators should observe during talks.
