Pakistan, Afghanistan engage, try to ease tensions

ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan and Afghanistan are engaging with each other to mend their ‘fragile’ relationship in the wake of an attack outside the Afghan parliament building and minor border skirmishes involving troops from both sides.

The two countries are reportedly accelerating their efforts to encourage peace and reconciliation before these incidents cause deeper scars, a senior Pakistani official commented.

The official told a private media outlet in Pakistan that all channels of communication have been activated between the two neighbours to ensure relations remain stable.

In this regard, a high-level meeting is expected between the two countries in the coming days.

The meeting could take place in Russia later this week when the leaderships of the two countries would be there to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit.
