Pakistan PM due in Kabul for talks this week

KABUL (Pajhwok): The Pakistani prime minister is scheduled to visit Kabul this week for talks on the Afghan peace process and bilateral cooperation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Saturday. 

Imran Khan would also confer with President Ashraf Ghani, Dr. Abdullah and other officials on ways of strengthening political, security, trade and economic links.

MoFA spokesman Gran Hewad Khan says Khan’s trip is in response to an invitation President Ghani had extended him during a telephone conversation with Imran Khan last month.

This would be Khan’s first visit to Kabul, coming at a time when the Afghan peace negotiations in Doha remain deadlocked.
