Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry said Sunday this would be the first high-level engagement between the two countries while peace talks between the U.S. and Afghanistan’s Taliban are entering a critical phase.
He said the U.S. appreciated Pakistan’s role in helping push forward the talks.
