‘Two brothers’

“Afghanistan is a neighboring Muslim country and Pakistan has long and historic relations with it,” he said. “Our [Pakistan and Afghanistan’s] The relationship has been like two brothers, because they have joined together – and it should stay like this.

Dar acknowledged that relations between the two countries were raised over the past few years due to a number of reasons, especially due to concerns over national security.

He added, “Recent relations are getting colder, mainly due to the security of Pakistan, the protection of our people’s lives and property and the most important concern for Pakistan – terrorism.”

Despite the challenges, the Deputy Prime Minister expressed hope for the economic and trade potential between the two countries.

Dar noted, “There are numerous trade and economic opportunities between the two countries. We can contact Afghanistan via Railways via Central Asian countries.” “However, this idea cannot be realized unless there is a proper railway department in Afghanistan.”

He regretted that the current economic capacity of Pakistan-Afghanistan relations was not being fully used, and the need for more cooperation has been emphasized.

“I’m going to goodwill, and I will try to bring these two Muslim countries closer. We must do whatever it is possible for economic development and improvement through mutual cooperation.”

During his visit, Dar is scheduled to meet with Afghanistan’s top leadership to discuss bilateral relations, trade and regional stability.

The visit came to a halt tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which led to the ongoing security issues and deportation disputes.
