IEA welcomes Pakistan’s move to upgrade diplomatic ties with Afghanistan, vows to reciprocate
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has welcomed the decision of Pakistan to upgrade the level of its diplomatic mission in Kabul to that of an ambassador.
In reciprocity, the IEA will elevate the status of its mission in Islamabad from charge d’affaires to ambassador, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
“This elevation in diplomatic representation between Afghanistan & Pakistan paves the way for enhanced bilateral cooperation in multiple domains,” the statement said.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced on Friday it will upgrade the level of its charge d’affaires in Kabul to that of an ambassador.
Dar said bilateral relations had been on a positive trajectory since he visited Kabul with a Pakistani delegation last month.
“I am confident this step would further contribute towards enhanced engagement,” he said on X.
Pakistan becomes the fourth country after China, UAE and Uzbekistan to designate an ambassador to Kabul.
