KABUL: A senior Pakistani official flew to Afghanistan on Sunday, inviting President Hamid Karzai to Islamabad as part of a charm offensive designed to improve strained relations and help peace efforts with the Taliban.
Foreign affairs adviser Sartaj Aziz is the most senior member of Pakistan’s new government to visit Afghanistan. The new administration took office last month after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif won historic elections.
“I have brought a message of cordiality and goodwill for Afghanistan,” Aziz told a news conference in Kabul.
