The Afghan Government has agreed to issue multiple entry visas for six month to Pakistani Businessmen who intend to visit Afghanistan thus accepting a long awaited demand of Pakistani business community. Businessmen from Pakistan were issued only single entry visa which was causing great hardship. During recent visit to Kabul in July, 2012, in his meeting with Afghan President, the Prime Minister of Pakistan had raised this issue and the Afghan President had agreed and issued directives. In pursuance to the discussion between the leaders of both countries, and on the basis of Afghan President, directives, the Afghan Embassy has communicated their decision to issue multiple entry visas for six months to Pakistani businessmen. The step would greatly facilitate the trading community of Pakistan in doing business with Afghanistan. It would further strengthen existing brotherly relations enjoyed by the two countries especially in the trade and economic spheres.
