-led Afghan government Saturday agreed to expand "counter-terrorism" cooperation and continue working together in building fraternal bilateral relations.
The development came during a telephonic conversation between Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and his Afghan counterpart Amir Khan Muttaqi.

Pakistain, Afghanistan agree to expand ’counter-terrorism cooperation
Earlier this week, Kabul emphasised maintaining relations with Islamabad, saying that it was a necessity to have improved relations with all its neighbouring countries.
Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid urged the new government of Pakistain to show flexibility towards the deportation of Afghan refugees.
"First, the Islamic Emirate has always sought good relations with all its neighbours, including Pakistain, where a new government has emerged. Afghanistan also needs good relations with Pakistain.
"We want Pakistain to make good progress in various sectors with Afghanistan and ask the future government to solve all its problems," the spokesperson said.
The development comes amid a tense relationship between the two countries with acting Prime Minister of Afghanistan Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund assuring Pakistain earlier this year that his country did not have any intention of inflicting damage upon or creating problems for the neighbouring country.

in January this year, Akhund said they dealt each issue in Afghanistan as per the Islamic Sharia, as the country was governed by Sharia, and Sharia did not allow hurting anyone or any other country including Pakistain.
The Afghanistan acting PM also reiterated that they would not give permission to use their soil against any other country.
