In June, 2010, President Hamid Karzai removed General BismillahKhan Mohammadi from his post as chief of staff of the Afghan Army, and transferred him to the Ministry of Interior.
On Wednesday the three men will hold a joint meeting - alongside Afghan Defence Minister BismillahKhan Mohammadi and Pakistani Foreign Secretary Jalil Jilani - as part of what the US describes as "an ongoing trilateral dialogue".
According to Afghan and American officials, Karzai decided to remove BismillahKhan as Army chief over fears that he was packing the middle ranks of the Afghan officer corps with fellow Jamiat officers who might be more loyal to him than to the Afghan state.
