US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad is scheduled to arrive in Islamabad on Tuesday. The agenda of his visit is to seek Pakistan’s ‘help’ for a political solution to the Afghan conflict, Pakistan’s officials claim.
The State Department had announced on Sunday that Khalilzad will be traveling to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar with an interagency delegation from December 2-20.
Khalilzad previously also held three-day talks with the Taliban political envoys in Qatar last month.
