Pakistan's Ambassador to Afghanistan, Mansoor Ahmad Khan, said on Friday that the three-day Afghan Peace Conference scheduled to be held in Islamabad from 17 to 19 July has been postponed.

On Thursday, the Foreign Office said that Pakistan was hosting a conference on Afghanistan to give fresh impetus to the efforts for peace in the country.

“The aim of the forthcoming peace conference is to engage with and consult all sides on the Afghan peace process. We hope that this conference will provide impetus to the ongoing efforts for peace in Afghanistan,” the spokesman said while explaining the objective of the conference.
