Washington: US Vice President Joe Biden would hold a trilateral meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in Davos to help the two neighbours co-operate and co-ordinate on counter-terrorism measures, the White House said.

Biden, Sharif and Ghani are in Davos to attend the World Economic Forum meeting. Biden’s meeting with Sharif and Ghani will be held today as part of the efforts of the Obama Administration to help the two neighbours co-operate and co-ordinate on counter-terrorism measures and kick-start the reconciliation process with the Taliban, the White House said.

Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and the US have called on all Afghan Taliban groups to start talks with Kabul to find a political solution to the long-running conflict in the war-torn country. On Monday, officials from the four countries, which are part of the quadrilateral coordination group, met in Kabul to discuss a roadmap for reviving the stalled peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban.
