The Adviser to the Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz will visit Kabul today (Friday) where he will deliver a decisive two-point message to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, his Afghan counterpart Hanif Atmaar and Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani, asking them to immediately stop all anti-Pakistan propaganda and return to peace talks with the Taliban.
Aziz will also attend the Regional Economic Cooperation Conference on Afghanistan.
The first and last round of peace talks with the Afghan Taliban was held a month ago and since then bilateral relations have hit a new low.
Pakistan’s clear message comes just two days after Ashraf Ghani in a ‘harsh-worded press release from his office and while being well aware of the Aziz visit said the main difference between the two countries was the presence of Afghan terrorist groups inside Pakistan including the Haqqani network.
