New Delhi [India], August 6 (ANI): Visiting Qatari envoy Mutlaq bin Majed Al-Qahtani and Joint Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) J P Singh on Friday discussed the current situation in Afghanistan and recent developments in the Afghan peace process.
Al-Qahtani, the Special Envoy of the Foreign Minister of Qatar for Counter-terrorism and Mediation of Conflict Resolution is on a visit to India, sources said.
