Pakistan, Afghanistan must join hands to ensure regional stability: British envoy

Sir Nicholas Kay says it is imperative for Pakistan to foster stronger ties with its neighbours

British Ambassador to Afghanistan Sir Nicholas Kay has emphasised the need for joint efforts by governments in Islamabad and Kabul to ensure “greater security and stability in the region”.
