ISLAMABAD: The US envoy for Afghanistan Reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, on Monday called on Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa to discuss the Afghan peace process.

According to the military's media wing, the regional peace and security were discussed.

"Regional security situation, Afghan peace process with particular reference to border management and way forward for lasting peace in Afghanistan were discussed during the meeting," said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement.

The statement said that Khalilzad, during the meeting, lauded Pakistan for its "untiring efforts for facilitating the process towards the mutual objective of peace in the region."

As the Doha talks continue between the Taliban and the Afghan government, it is the second time within a month that the US envoy visited Pakistan and met the army chief. The dignitary had also visited Pakistan on October 8th along with the commander of the NATO's Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan, Gen Scott Miller.
