The two leaders agreed to realise the true economic potential of the both countries for assured socio-economic development, alleviation of poverty, and welfare of the two peoples.
They also agreed to make efforts for benefitting from the geographic locations of Pakistan and Afghanistan to enhance regional connectivity, said a statement issued by the Foreign Office. The two leaders exchanged views on matters relating to peace, security and prosperity in Afghanistan and the region, it added.
