ISLAMABAD: The three-day visit of Afghan Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Amir Khan Muttaqi to Pakistan has been postponed as earlier he was scheduled to arrive in Islamabad on Monday.
Muttaqi’s first visit to Pakistan since November 2021. The agenda included discussions on bilateral relations, security cooperation, trade, and cross-border connectivity with Pakistani leadership.
It has been confirmed that no new dates have been announced yet, and neither Afghan nor Pakistani officials have issued an official statement regarding the reasons for the postponement. In April this year, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar arrived in Kabul for a one-day visit aimed at addressing ongoing security concerns between the two neighbouring countries.
This visit follows the recent Pak-Afghan Joint Coordination Committee meeting, during which Pakistan’s delegation, led by Ambassador Sadiq Khan, discussed mutual interests, including security and economic cooperation.
Before his departure, Dar underscored the deep-rooted brotherly ties shared by Pakistan and Afghanistan, stressing the need to further bolster these relations.
Speaking to the media, he remarked, “Our two countries have a long-standing and deeply ingrained bond, which we aim to strengthen further for the mutual benefit of our people and the region.
