British Prime Minister David Cameron has invited Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to attend an international conference on economic assistance to Afghanistan to be held in London in the last week of November.
According to an official handout, Cameron invited PM Nawaz via telephone earlier today. The conference is being co-chaired by Cameron and Afghan President Dr Ashraf Ghani and will serve to reiterate the international community’s commitment to Afghanistan.
As one of Afghanistan’s most important neighbours, Pakistan’s participation at the highest level would serve to highlight its commitment to peace and stability in the war-torn country.
“Prime Minister’s participation in the conference would also enable the two leaders to discuss bilateral relations between Pakistan and the UK, and provide an opportunity for PM Nawaz to meet the Afghan president,” says the handout.
