Utilizing the opportunity, the foreign minister will share Pakistan’s perspective on issues of regional peace and stability.

A facilitative visa regime for Afghan nationals and border crossing procedures for trade and cargo have been instituted.
In recent months, Pakistan has provided humanitarian aid and assistance in the form of foodstuffs and medicines.
The Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s visit reflects Pakistan’s consistent policy of supporting the brotherly Afghan people, deepening bilateral trade and economic relations, and facilitating closer people-to-people contacts.
