Afghanistan’s Acting Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, is set to visit Pakistan early next month with a delegation for high-level talks aimed at boosting economic, trade, and political cooperation and easing bilateral tensions, sources from Pakistan’s Foreign Office confirmed.
This will be Muttaqi’s first visit to Pakistan in two years, reflecting renewed diplomatic engagement. The visit follows an invitation from Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar during his April trip to Kabul.
Discussions will address cross-border terrorism and efforts to strengthen ties. Both sides have recently elevated their envoys to ambassadorial rank, signalling a diplomatic thaw. Dar and Muttaqi have also met in Beijing and Istanbul in recent weeks.
Last week, Dar visited Kabul for talks held alongside discussions on the Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan Railway Framework. Both governments have agreed to raise bilateral relations to a new level.
