Islamabad, Aug 4 (IBNS): The United Nations Secretary General's Special Representative (SRSG) for Afghanistan Ambassador Tadamichi Yamamoto called on Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, Syed Tariq Fatemi, wherein the discussions focused on the situation in Afghanistan, and Pakistan's efforts for promoting long term peace and stability in that country, officials said.
