LONDON: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday reaffirmed their continuing commitment for the Afghan peace process.

The three leaders during their trilateral meeting held at 10 Downing Street discussed economic cooperation and the Afghan-led peace process to which they all reaffirmed their continuing commitment.

They continued their dialogue about Afghanistan and Pakistan's shared interest in advancing regional peace, stability and prosperity.
