Pakistan dismisses Asif Durrani as Special Representative for Afghanistan amid deteriorating ties.

Pakistan has dismissed Asif Durrani as its Special Representative for Afghanistan amid escalating tensions between the two nations.

Durrani’s tenure was marked by limited success in diplomacy, and his successor has yet to be announced. The deteriorating ties complicate regional stability efforts.
