Turkish delegation to visit Islamabad next week over Afghanistan-Pakistan tensions
Pakistani media, citing İrfan Neziroglu, Turkiye’s ambassador to Islamabad, have reported that a high-level Turkish delegation is scheduled to visit Islamabad next week to discuss tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The visit was first announced by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan after negotiations between the two countries in Istanbul collapsed earlier this month.
The Turkish ambassador to Pakistan said that the delegation traveling to Islamabad will include ministers of key sectors and the head of intelligence. Turkey’s energy minister will also accompany the delegation.
“Both countries should live like brothers. Turkiye is determined to make it possible,” he said.
Tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan escalated after Pakistani airstrikes clashes near the Durand Line last month. Trade between the two countries remains suspended.
