KABUL — Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi arrived in Afghanistan's capital Kabul on Thursday, local television channel TOLONews reported in its news bulletin.

Heading a ranking delegation, Qureshi during his stay in Kabul would hold talks with Afghanistan leaders, the media outlet added.

This is Qureshi's first visit to Kabul since Afghanistan's takeover by the Taliban in mid-August.

Qureshi's talks with Afghanistan leaders would focus on matters pertaining to mutual interests, including opening borders and boosting trade and business between the two neighboring countries, TOLONews quoted Afghanistan's administration spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid as saying. — Agencies
