United States special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan James Dobbins arrived in Islamabad to finalize the agenda of a meeting scheduled to take place between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and US president Barack Obama, said officials on Monday.
During his stay here, the US envoy is scheduled to hold talks with Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz to discuss the agenda of the meeting to be held between Sharif and Obama in Washington on Oct 23. The two diplomats will also finalize potential points to be raised during the meeting between Prime Minister Sharif and the US president.
The two diplomats would also discuss the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014 just after the sessions of meetings in Afghanistan between Afghan President Hamid Karzai and US Secretary of State John Kerry on Oct 13. The Afghan President and US Secretary of State met to discuss long-delayed security deal on the future of US forces in Afghanistan after withdrawal of foreign forces.
