US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman will visit Pakistan and India next month.
According to the French news agency AFP, the CIA chief made the first major visit to Pakistan after US President Joe Biden came to power and this is the second visit of any senior US official after him.
According to the State Department, Wendy Sherman will meet top Pakistani officials in Islamabad on October 7 and 8, and in India on October 6 and 7 with senior officials and members of civil society.
She will also address the annual meeting of the US India Council.
The visit comes at a time when India, a US ally and backer of the former Afghan government, is drawing the world's attention to Pakistan's role in Afghanistan.
Pakistan is said to have been a staunch supporter of the Taliban from 1996 to 2001, and the United States has been accused of keeping the Taliban campaign alive through covert assistance.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan wrote in an article published in the Washington Post on Monday that Pakistan is easily being made a scapegoat.
"The Afghan government, especially in the countryside, was seen as a puppet imposed by foreign powers," he wrote.
He called on the world to work with the Taliban government to ensure peace and stability in Afghanistan.
Like the former US president, Biden, who wants stronger ties with India, has not yet spoken to the Pakistani prime minister. However, Foreign Minister Anthony Blanken met with his counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi during the General Assembly session.
He thanked Pakistan for helping American citizens evacuate from Afghanistan.
According to the State Department, Wendy Sherman will also visit Uzbekistan. The United States is in contact with regional countries to take immediate action against the threat posed by al-Qaeda or ISIS in Afghanistan.
