The United States Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Dan Feldman on Tuesday arrived in Pakistan on a two-day visit.
The envoy held a meeting with Adviser to Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz and the two discussed bilateral ties and issues relating to the region and Afghanistan.
Both sides shared their resolve to improve and strengthen relations between Pakistan and the US.
While the agenda of Feldman’s visit was not clearly stated by the State Department, his visit comes days before Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif’s week-long visit to the US.
High-level political contacts between the two countries are also expected to resume in January next year, sources said.
After concluding his visit to Pakistan, Feldman will leave for Beijing on Oct 30 for a two-day visit to China. In Beijing, Feldman will be joining a senior US delegation to participate in the ‘Heart of Asia’ conference.
“The conference is an important opportunity to discuss efforts by many in the region to expand political, security and economic support for Afghanistan,” the State Department said,
