Russia’s special envoy for Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, is scheduled to visit Pakistan on Thursday to discuss Afghanistan’s stability and its impact on the region. The visit underscores both countries’ concerns over Afghanistan’s role in regional security, particularly with regard to terrorism and humanitarian challenges.
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Zahra Baloch, confirmed that Kabulov will meet with Foreign Secretary Amina Baloch and Additional Foreign Secretary Ahmad Naseem Warraich. Their discussions will cover regional peace efforts and the shared responsibilities of Afghanistan’s neighbors.
This meeting highlights Russia and Pakistan’s joint commitment to a stable Afghanistan, which both view as crucial to maintaining security across Central and South Asia. The two sides will explore options for cooperation on issues such as economic support and border security.
Pakistan faces its own security concerns tied to Afghanistan, especially in border areas affected by refugee flows and potential threats from terrorist groups. Islamabad hopes that deeper ties with Russia will strengthen its efforts to address these challenges.
Kabulov’s visit signals Russia’s interest in bolstering relationships with key regional players like Pakistan, as both countries work towards a stable and cooperative approach to Afghan affairs.
