The Foreign Minister expressed satisfaction over the progress in intra Afghan dialogue saying it provides a unique opportunity to the Afghan leadership which must be seized for peace in Afghanistan.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi regretted that India is acting as a spoiler in Afghanistan and we have presented irrefutable evidence in this regard before the world community.

Referring to historic relations, the Foreign Minister said we are taking concrete steps for promotion of bilateral relations between the two countries. He said Pakistan has also introduced a new visa policy to facilitate the Afghans.
