FO dispels speculations on Qureshi’s Afghanistan visit

ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office has dispelled speculations regarding the visit of the foreign minister to Kabul.

“No visit by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi to Kabul is scheduled. Any speculation in this regard is baseless,” the Foreign Office said in a statement issued late on Sunday.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Qureshi will be visiting Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries for consultations on the issue relating to Taliban takeover soon, while reiterating its commitment to work together with the international community to advance shared objectives in the war-torn country.

On Saturday, Qureshi held telephonic conversations with his counterparts in Russia, Germany, Turkey, Belgium and Netherlands to discuss the latest developments in Afghanistan.
