Taliban reintegration to be key agenda of Pak-Afghan talks


Karzai is likely to ask Islamabad for the extradition of Mullah Baradar for trial in Afghanistan and will also get the latest information on the retrieval of kidnapped Afghan diplomat Abdul Khaliq Farahi.

Foreign Office sources told DawnNews that during his two-day state visit, Karzai will meet President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and members of the civil society.

Sources said counter-insurgency, anti-terrorism campaign, US troops surge in Afghanistan, repatriation of Afghan refugees and development in the war torn country will be on the talks agenda.

Sources maintained that Pakistan is expected to raise the issues of its nationals in Afghan custody along with Dr. Aafia’s missing children and cross border infiltration of terrorists.
