Talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan are likely to resume this week when Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Adviser on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz leaves for Kabul to attend the sixth Regional Economic Cooperation Conference on Afghanistan (RECCA).

According to the Dawn, a senior diplomat said that they were thinking over an invitation to RECCA conference.

Two RECCA conferences will be held followed by a ministerial meeting, on September 3 and 4.

A meeting between Pakistani and Afghan officials is expected to take place on the sidelines of the events, to discuss issues that have disturbed the process of normalisation of ties between the two nations.

The relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan were improving until the recent attacks in Kabul adversely affected them.
