A delegation of Pakistan's Senate Standing Committee on Defence and Defence Production is due to visit Afghanistan on March 25 for the first parliamentary dialogue between the two countries in the defence sector. The committee's chairman, Senator Mushahid Hussain told a private TV channel that the three-day parliamentary dialogue would act as a force multiplier for Pak-Afghan relationship.
The two countries have traditionally had a complicated relationship characterised by mutual suspicion. Ethnic issues, border disputes and lately differences over counter-terrorism strategies have been the major sources of divergence between the neighbours described by President Karzai as 'conjoined twins', but lingering mistrust between their spy agencies widened the gulf.
