Pakistan has assured a visiting Afghan delegation that Islamabad would support whatever governance set-up emerged in the aftermath of the intra-Afghan dialogue currently under way between the Taliban and the government in Kabul in the Qatari capital.
Dr Moeed Yusuf, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on National Security, suggested that the Track-II process between Pakistan and Afghanistan should complement Track-I process and assist it by providing the government with targeted policy proposals.

Islamabad : There is certainly a positive trajectory with regards to Pakistan-Afghanistan bilateral relations. In the last few months, both sides have achieved significant progress, though there is a lot still to be done. For the first time, the parliaments on both sides are playing a very active role in addressing issues of mutual interest. Complex issues accumulating over years would take some time for resolution, said Ambassador Muhammad Sadiq, Prime Minister’s Special Representative for Afghanistan.
He was speaking to the 7th Pakistan Afghanistan Joint Committee (PAJC) meeting, spearheaded by Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) and Organisation for Economic Studies and Peace (OESP).
