ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani technical delegation has arrived in Kabul to improve visa issuance system for Afghan nationals.

According to diplomatic officials, the delegation includes representatives from the Ministry of Interior, relevant departments and members of a technical team.

Sources said the Pakistani delegation would review ongoing reforms at the visa section of Pakistan’s Embassy in Kabul, including measures to enhance efficiency and transparency. They further clarified that the visit was scheduled well before the recent Pakistan-Afghanistan border tensions and clashes and is not related to any ceasefire diplomatic talks or recent hostilities.

Discussions during the visit would focus on the issuance of online visas, upgrading biometric systems and other technical improvements, the sources added.
