Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Saturday said he was "not aware" if any delegation of the Afghan Taliban had recently come to Pakistan in relation to peace talks with the government in Kabul.

Speaking to media Aziz said: "Delegations keep coming, they have come in the past but right now there is no confirmation on the matter."

He said everyone was trying for peace in Afghanistan and if there is consensus on how to take the dialogue forward, the Quadrilateral Co-ordination Group (QCG) - the four-nation group working for reconciliation in Afghanistan - could be approached.

When asked if he saw the Afghan Taliban becoming a part of the government in Kabul in future, Aziz said that remains to be seen, adding that a lot of steps will have to be taken before that stage could be reached.
