If a decision is made, the Pakistani delegation would also include Sartaj Aziz, the National Security and Foreign Affairs Advisor to Pakistan’s Prime Minister Mohammad Nawaz Sharif, and other high ranking government officials.
They would with Afghan officials on the sideline of the conference and discuss the unstable relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Ties between the two countries damaged once again after three terrorist attacks in one day took the lives of at least 50 people and wounded 400 others in capital Kabul earlier in August.
The responsibility of one attack was claimed by Taliban that left 26 cadets of Kabul’s police academy martyred and nearly 30 others wounded.
President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah said that Taliban are being financed and armed in Pakistan for attacks in Afghanistan.
