Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai is expected to visit Pakistan on August 26 to rebuild long-stalled relations and for talks on resuscitating the peace process with the Taliban.

A source in the Afghan presidency said Karzai would be traveling to Pakistan on August 26.

According to the Dawn News, Afghan Foreign Ministry Spokesman Janan Musazai said a comprehensive agenda was being worked out for Karzai.

Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz delivered the invitation to Karzai to visit Pakistan, during his visit to Kabul last month.

This would be Karzai's first trip to Pakistan in almost a year and a half.

Karzai will also discuss economic cooperation and the issue of Afghan refugees, the report added.
