NSA Atmar, top Afghan military officials to meet Pakistan’s Army Chief

Atmar will lead a delegation of high level Afghan military officials who will leave for Pakistan on Sunday on invitation of Pakistan’s Prime Minister.
The Office of the President, ARG Palace, confirmed in a statement that National Security Advisor Mohammad Hanif Atmar and senior military officials will visit Pakistan Sunday.
The statement further added that the delegation will depart Kabul based on the instructions of President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani after receiving an invitation from Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to send a delegation to Pakistan.
According to ARG Palace, the delegation will hold talks regarding the situation of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the region.
No further details have been given by the Presidential Palace in this regard.
This comes as the Afghan and Pakistani officials had earlier agreed to take practical steps regarding the start of the operations of the six working groups upon which President Ghani and Prime Minister Abbasi had reached to an agreement.
Following the last meeting of Afghanistan Pakistan Action Plan for Solidarity (APAPPS), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan in  a statement had stated that “In pursuance of the seven principles agreed in the meeting between Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi during his visit to Kabul on 6 April 2018, the two sides finalized the Afghanistan Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity (APAPPS). This operationalizes the six working groups envisaged under APAPPS.”
