Pakistan-Afghanistan Diplomatic Reset: Deputy PM Seeks Dialogue on Refugee Crisis, Security, and Cross-Border Cooperation
Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister visited Kabul to reset bilateral relations amid an intensifying crackdown on Afghan refugees. Pakistan is enforcing a strict one-document policy, with a deadline of April 30 for refugee relocation. Over 907,000 undocumented foreigners have been repatriated, with approximately 44,000 Afghans still awaiting transfer to Western countries. The visit aims to discuss security, trade, and address concerns about refugee expulsion and terrorist sanctuaries.
