ISTANBUL – Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Haneef Atmar, who has left for Istanbul to attend the Afghanistan-Turkey-Pakistan Trilateral Meeting, will attend the sessions virtually as advised by physicians.
Preliminary tests do not rule out the possibility of Minister Atmar being infected with COVID-19; therefore, Foreign Minister will avoid attending the meeting in person. Given the significance of the successful holding of the meeting, Minister Atmar will attend through VTC.
The Trilateral Meeting plays a significant role in the successful planning and convening of the Istanbul Peace Conference, to be held in the near future; therefore, all sides agreed to follow the agenda as planned, covering the progress of the Afghan peace process, resuming Afghanistan Peace Negotiations, strengthening regional consensus in support of peace, and consolidating trilateral relations.
The outcomes of the meeting will be shared in the coming hours.
