A high-level Pakistani delegation will hold discussions with representatives of Afghanistan in Doha to address ongoing issues between the two sides, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.
The ministry said that the Pakistani delegation, led by the country's Minister of Defense Khawaja Asif, will seek measures aimed at ending cross-border terrorism and restoring stability along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The ministry also expressed appreciation for Qatar's mediation efforts and said Islamabad hopes the discussions would contribute to broader regional peace and security.
Tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border have risen recently following cross-border firing and militant activities.
