The Speaker had stressed the need to immediately resolve the issues emerged and raised by protesters in and around Chaman border and tasked Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Establishment to sit with the stakeholders and bring out a workable proposal for the solution of all those issues.
The meetings of the Four Task Forces on the Pakistan-Afghanistan Parliamentary Friendship group will be held on 22nd and 23rd July 2020 to enhance the bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan. These task forces were formed during the inaugural meeting of the Executive Committee of the Pak-Afghan Parliamentary Friendship Group.

Speaker Asad Qaiser believes in parliamentary supremacy and parliament being the representative of common people to resolve the issues faced by common people. He focused on the inter-parliamentary contacts to resolve the issues between both countries i.e Pakistan and Afghanistan. These task forces on the Pakistan Afghanistan Friendship Group will make a recommendation to address the diverse issues between both nations.
