Pakistan Upgrades Ties with Afghanistan

On May 31, 2025, Pakistan and Afghanistan decided to enhance their diplomatic relations by exchanging ambassadors and elevating their missions in each other's capitals.
This upgrade follows years of strained ties mainly due to Pakistan's security concerns and recent diplomatic efforts, including a trilateral meeting in Beijing.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced elevating the charge d’affaires in Kabul to ambassador, while Afghanistan’s Taliban government will reciprocate in Islamabad.
The Afghan Foreign Ministry said that upgrading diplomatic representation marks a significant step toward strengthening cooperation across various areas, with Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi scheduled to visit Islamabad in the near future.
The move suggests a positive diplomatic trajectory supported by China’s facilitation, although underlying tensions, including refugee and security issues, remain unresolved.
