Afghan Ambassador optimistic Pak-Afghan ties will improve
The Afghan Ambassador to Islamabad Hazrat Omar Zakhilwal is optimistic that the bilateral ties between Kabul and Islamabad will improve in the near future.

AVA- Zakhilwal expressed his optimisms in this regard while speaking to reporters on Saturday.

According to Zakhilwal, the current misgivings and grievances are short-lived and will soon end, emphasizing that were facing the same challenges and enemies.

Insisting on bilateral cooperation to resolve the issues, Zakhilwal said things were moving in the right direction on the diplomatic front.

This comes as the relations between Kabul and Islamabad remains strained mainly due to the circumstances in the fight against the terrorism.

Afghan and US officials have long been criticizing Pakistan for its failure to act against the terror network although they have said that the country has take strict actions against the terror groups posing threat to the Pakistani government.

The director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) earlier had warned that the United States will take necessary steps if Pakistan fails to destroy terror safe havens in its soil.

In response to a question during a forum in California, Mike Pameo said the defense secretary James Mattis was travelling to Pakistan to “make clear the president’s intent” and “will deliver the message that we would love you to do that.

“And that the safe haven inside of Pakistan has worked to the detriment of our capacity to do what we needed to do in Afghanistan,” he added.

However, the Pakistani officials are saying that the majority of the attacks taking place in Pakistan are being orchestrated by the militants having safe havens in the Afghan soil.
