Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan embarked on his maiden visit to Afghanistan earlier today. Upon his arrival in Kabul, the premier was reportedly greeted with a warm welcome at the Presidential Palace. Khan travelled to the neighbouring country following Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s invitation. The last time PM Khan and Ghani met was when the latter visited Pakistan in June 2019. The two leaders had a telephonic conversation in September 2020. A statement from the PM Office weighed in on his visit, stating, “The focus will be on further deepening the fraternal bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Afghan peace process, and regional economic development and connectivity.”

 

 

It continued, “As part of this process, and in the run-up to the prime minister’s forthcoming visit, Adviser on Commerce and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood visited Kabul from 16-18 November 2020. The people of Pakistan and Afghanistan are linked through immutable bonds of history, faith, culture, kinship, values and traditions,” reads the PMO statement. “The Prime Minister’s visit will help foster a stronger and multi-faceted relationship between the two brotherly countries.” Khan’s party PTI’s official Twitter handle read, “Regional peace is always the first and foremost priority of PM IK and it’s practical example can be seen in his collaborative efforts for bringing Afghans and Americans to the table of negotiations for bringing an utmost peace and harmony in the region.” Social media users on the micro-blogging platform are now lauding Khan for his first-ever visit to Afghanistan and praying that it will bear fruit.

Referring to Khan as a “true global reader,” a user penned, “Public holiday in Kabul as PM Imran Khan makes a historical visit to Afghanistan. Pakistani flags have covered the streets to welcome a truly global leader, one who’s leading the fight against Islamophobia and for world peace.” Others praised the grand welcome Khan received upon reaching Kabul. “Afghan President Ghani rolls out the red carpet for PM Imran Khan That’s the respect we have now all across the world,” posted a user. Some even appreciated the fact that PM Khan had publicly announced his visit to Afghanistan. “PM Imran khan, most probably the only Prime Minister who has announced before visiting Afghanistan. Most of the leaders visit Afghanistan in darkness of the nights and in circles of knights.” The user then uploaded images of Khan receiving flowers as he exited the jet. “Afghan children preparing to welcome PM Imran Khan with flowers as he is stepping into Kabul,” he wrote. “PM Imran Khan is visiting Kabul to strengthen bilateral relations. Afghanistan and Pakistan firmly believe that result-oriented dialogue is the sole way to usher in lasting peace in the region.” But all Pakistani users were in agreement on one aspect, which was summed up by one user. In a nutshell, “May #PMImranKhan’s Afghanistan visit open doors of peace and bring opportunities.”
