Sardar Ahmad Shakeeb, acting ambassador of the Islamic Emirate in Islamabad, met with Saidia Arabia’s deputy ambassador for Afghanistan in Pakistan to discuss bilateral relations.
According to Shakeeb, the meeting focused on strengthening bilateral ties between Kabul and Riyadh, simplifying visa issuance for Afghan citizens, and other related matters.
The acting ambassador of the Islamic Emirate in Islamabad stated: “Two days ago, we met with Mr. Mutlaq Al-Shammari at the embassy and discussed bilateral relations between the two countries, resuming Afghanistan-related affairs in Kabul, and facilitating visa issuance for Afghans.”
Some political analysts consider such meetings effective in resolving certain challenges between the two countries.
Enayatullah Adeel, a political analyst, said: “Such meetings and relations are very important, and efforts must be made to establish close ties with Gulf countries, particularly Saudi Arabia.”
Mohammad Omar Nahzat, another political analyst, said: “These discussions should have a clear agenda and be prioritized based on national objectives.”
Previously, the acting foreign minister also met with the Saudi ambassador for Afghanistan to discuss the religious, cultural, and historical commonalities between the citizens of both countries. He emphasized that the Islamic Emirate is keen on expanding relations with Saudi Arabia.
