The process was disrupted at that time due to the fragile nature of relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Last month, Afghan National Security Adviser Hamdullah Mohib led a high-powered delegation to Islamabad as part of a renewed push to remove irritants in ties. Against this backdrop, the Afghan delegation led by Deputy Foreign Minister Idrees Zaman held talks with the Pakistani side, headed by Foreign Secretary Sohail Mehmood. The two sides, according to officials, reviewed bilateral ties as well as efforts seeking a political solution to the Afghan war. Many observers believe that improved ties between the two neighbours can help expedite peace efforts.
