During the meeting, they also highlighted the positive impact of European Union's "GSP Plus" status on trade between Pakistan and the European Union.
The Foreign Minister also briefed the High Representative on the regional situation and reiterated that an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process is the only viable option for a lasting peace in Afghanistan.
He said peace and stability in Afghanistan was in the best interest of all, including Pakistan and the region.
