Afghan President Hamid Karzai has met Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Islamabad for talks on restarting a peace process with the Taliban.
At a press conference following their meeting, President Karzai said there was an "expectation that the government of Pakistan will facilitate and help in manners it can".
Pakistan has a high degree of influence with the insurgents who refuse to talk with Mr Karzai, dismissing him as a US puppet.
