Omar Zakhilwal called on National Security Adviser Lt. General (R) Nasser Khan
Janjua this afternoon to exchange views on bilateral relations and ongoing
efforts for peace and stability in the region. NSA received the
Ambassador with great warmth and cordiality.
Reflecting
over the latest developments in Pak-Afghan relations, both expressed their
satisfaction over the recent improvement in bilateral relations in the backdrop
of General Qamar Javed’s Bajwa visit to Kabul. They stressed the
importance of seizing this opportunity to take this relationship forward in the
positive direction.
NSA
shared with the Ambassador his vision of a shared and prosperous future with
Afghanistan. He underlined that the great promise of trade and connectivity in
the region cannot be realized in the absence of peace and stability in
Afghanistan and a friendly and cooperative relationship between the two
neighbours.
Ambassador
Zakhilwal reciprocated the warmth and feelings of the NSA for Afghanistan and
its people. He welcomed the increasing confidence in Pak-Afghan relations and
the positive momentum particularly generated after General Bajwa’s visit. The
Ambassador fully agreed to seize this moment collectively and reiterated the
desire to build on present positivity to turn Pak-Afghan relations for better
in the interest of peace, stability and development.
After
very constructive and cordial discussion, both sides agreed to keep the
positive momentum and to overcome all problems and irritants through better
understanding and regular contacts at all levels.
