A two-day conference titled ‘Pakistan-Afghanistan: Towards Mutual Security, Stability and Trade’ concluded on Saturday with a consensus that Pakistan and Afghanistan should leave the past behind and strive together for a secure and prosperous future of their peoples.



Participants of the conference, organised by the Institute of Strategic Studies in collaboration with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), recommended enhancing cross-border economic opportunities, more interaction between the two civil societies, better border management, ratification of Afghan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement, liberalisation of visa regimes, more educational and cultural contacts and harmonising of tariffs to curb informal trade between the two countries.
