ISLAMABAD: Russian Presidential Envoy on Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov met with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Islamabad, on Tuesday, and discussed the matter relating to the ongoing efforts to end a long war in Afghanistan.
Kabulov lauded Pakistan’s role and efforts for Afghan peace and reconciliation, Pakistan’s foreign office said in a statement after the meeting.
According to the statement, the Russian envoy said, “Pakistan’s role for the peace process is very important.”
Foreign Minister Qureshi assured Ambassador Kabulov that “Pakistan will continue to play its role for peace in Afghanistan.”
The Russian envoy also held delegation level talks with Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua at the Foreign office.

Ambassador Khalilzad later noted on Twitter that “we made significant progress on vital issues,” during the talks in Doha.
