The Pres-idents of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran Thursday held an informal session, a day ahead of the trilateral summit, aimed at bringing peace and stability and ensuring security in the region. President Asif Ali Zardari, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who are here for a two-day meeting held an informal round of talks here at the Aiwan-e-Sadr, as part of the trilateral mechanism.
This is the third round of the trilateral talks, that began in 2009. Pakistan believes that the summit would prove to be an important milestone towards finding peace, stability and Afghan-led reconciliation process. The Foreign Office earlier said the trilateral mechanism was important for Pakistan as it would discuss matters pertaining to co-operation in counter-terrorism, curbing transnational organised crime, including drug and human trafficking, and border management. The formal trilateral summit would be held on Friday. The three leaders will address a press conference at the end of talks.
