State Minister Hina Rabbani Khar will also reaffirm Pakistan’s continued commitment and support for all efforts aimed at strengthening peace and enhancing prosperity in Afghanistan.

“As a friend and neighbour of Afghanistan, Pakistan will reaffirm its abiding solidarity with the people of Afghanistan, in particular through its efforts to ease the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and to create real opportunities for economic prosperity of Afghan men, women and children,” the FO statement read.

The visit comes after the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Monday called off the ceasefire agreed with the government in June and announced attacks across the country, according to a statement from the group.

Talks between Pakistani officials and the militant outfit first started in October last year but broke down in December.
