ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday that Asif Durrani has been appointed as the special representative of the prime minister for Afghanistan.
This decision comes as the former special representative, Mohammad Sadiq, resigned from the position in August of last year.
Asif Durrani brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having previously served as Pakistan's ambassador to Afghanistan, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. With his extensive diplomatic background, Mr Durrani is expected to play a crucial role in strengthening bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
