AMRITSAR: Prime Minister’s Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Sunday met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani during which they discussed ways to bring peace and stability in Afghanistan.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the Heart of Asia Conference. Both Ghani and Sartaj Aziz had arrived in Amritsar on Saturday evening. The bilateral meeting came amid Afghanistan expressing its anguish over Islamabad’s alleged not-so-cooperative approach towards the peace process in the war-ravaged country.

Earlier, Sartaj Aziz on Saturday night met with India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval in Sada Pind. The meeting between the two lasted for over 30 minutes.

Sartaj Aziz was leading the Pakistani delegation to the meeting that focuses on regional cooperation between Afghanistan and its neighbours to improve connectivity and tackle the security threats in the war-torn country.
