Turkish President Abdullah Gul will host the talks between Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan and Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan, which will also be attended by military and intelligence officials from the two countries.
The trilateral summit is the fourth round of fence-mending talks since 2007 held under the auspices of Turkey, the sole Muslim member of Nato which is using its traditionally close ties with both countries to mediate.
Ties between Kabul and Islamabad were strained as Pakistan’s northwestern tribal regions became a stronghold for extremists who fled Afghanistan after the US-led invasion toppled the hardline Taliban regime in late 2001.
Afghanistan says much of its insurgent violence, including attacks on US and Nato soldiers, is planned in Pakistan, and has accused its neighbour of not doing enough to curb the militants.
