Islamabad, Jan 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Tuesday held talks with leader of Afghanistan's Hezb-e-Wahdat-e Islami party Karim Khalili in Islamabad on the war-torn country's peace process.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry in Islamabad said that Khalili, a former Vice President, arrived in Pakistan on a three-day visit on Monday, reports Xinhua news agency.
Qureshi described the progress in intra-Afghan negotiations currently underway in Qatar to decide a future political roadmap as "good omen", according to the statement.

Khalili appreciated Pakistan's role in the Afghan peace process, according to the statement.
