The Afghan government has welcomed Pakistan's efforts in releasing 27 Afghan prisoners, which has enabled them to reunite with their families. This has improved the relationship between the two countries and has strengthened ties between them. The Afghan government has also expressed its gratitude for Pakistan's efforts in releasing the prisoners, which has helped to restore their human rights and dignity. The Afghan government has also requested that Pakistan take further steps to ensure the safety and security of those who have returned home.

Despite the strained relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the two countries have made efforts to improve their ties in recent times, evidenced by the release of Afghan prisoners from Pakistani jails. These efforts are a positive step towards building trust between the two countries, which will help to further enhance the bilateral relationship.

Pakistan is in dire straits when it comes to economy and the polity. The economic situation is worsening with each passing day and the dubious nature of IMF bail-out negotiations further has made matters worse for the political leadership. The rising extremism is another major cause of concern for Islamabad, especially in these trying times hence, the step towards reviving ties with the Taliban leadership in Kabul is the step in the right direction. Now all eyes are on the elections later this year which come at a crucial juncture when the nation faces multiple challenges on multiple fronts.
