Afghanistan Peace Campaign
Pakistan plans to send an ambassador to Afghanistan, upgrading diplomatic relations to strengthen cooperation in security, trade, and regional stability.
Dar expressed confidence that this upgrade would lead to increased engagement and deeper bilateral cooperation in economic, security, and trade sectors. He emphasized that the move aims to strengthen mutual collaboration between the two countries, which he described as “brotherly neighbors.”
Despite these diplomatic advancements, Pakistan, like many other countries, has not yet officially recognized the Taliban government. Recently, an informal trilateral meeting was held in Beijing between the foreign ministers of China, Pakistan, and the Taliban, signaling a willingness to foster closer ties.
Following the Beijing meeting, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi announced that Pakistan and the Taliban had agreed to exchange ambassadors soon. China welcomed this development and reiterated its support for strengthening relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban have persisted, largely due to security concerns and cross-border militant activities. However, both sides show willingness to improve cooperation to address these challenges.
China’s mediation has played a key role in easing tensions, facilitating dialogue, and encouraging Pakistan and the Taliban to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties for regional stability.
