Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi met senior Taliban leaders in the Afghan capital Kabul on Thursday. 

"There were detailed talks with the Afghan Taliban leadership which were attended by the prime minister and almost all cabinet ministers," Qureshi said afterwards, in a brief video clip. 

In the same clip distributed to media, Qureshi's Afghan counterpart, Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, called it a "very good interaction" during which trade and the reopening of the borders was discussed. 

"We are very hopeful that all our trade issues will be resolved very soon, borders will open again," he said. 

Qureshi was accompanied by Pakistan's outgoing spy chief, Faiz Hammed, who is on his second visit to the Afghan capital since the Taliban took power.

Qureshi is the third foreign minister after those of Qatar and Uzbekistan to visit Afghanistan since the Taliban took power in mid-August.
