The Islamic Emirate officials said that Muttaqi will meet his Pakistani counterpart, Shah Mahmood Quraishi, after arriving in Islamabad. Facilitating people and traders’ movement was discussed between the two foreign ministers.

“Transit and Economic issues will be discussed. Traders’ problems and as well (de facto) border crossing problems will be addressed,” said Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman of the Islamic Emirate.

It is reported that a Troika meeting will be held on November 11 in Pakistan, and a number of Pakistani media reported that Amir Khan Muttaqi will meet representatives of China, Russia and United Sates on the sidelines of the Troika meeting.
