Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi arrived in Kabul on Thursday for his first visit to the Afghan capital since the Taliban victory in August, following weeks of tension over transport links between the two neighbouring countries.

Qureshi will focus in his talks with Afghan foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi and other Taliban leaders “on ways and means to deepen cooperation in diverse areas”, Pakistan’s foreign ministry said in a statement. The delegation included the head of the ISI intelligence service, Faiz Hameed, who visited Kabul in the immediate aftermath of the fall of the city.
