“Afghanistan needs cooperation from all countries, especially regional countries and Central Asia, and China can cooperate with Afghanistan. From a security perspective, I think Afghanistan is currently not in a bad security situation,” Samim Shamsi, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.

“The land is under the control of the Islamic Emirate, and no harm comes from the borders to anyone, and they do not allow anyone else to do such a thing. Therefore, if the problems that exist in the air, since it is not under the control of the Islamic Emirate, if security is ensured in the air, investors will go where there is security,” said Mohammad Mateen Mohammadi, a military analyst.

Earlier, the Administrative Deputy of the Prime Minister had also asked the Chinese ambassador in a meeting to support the stance of the Islamic Emirate on the international stage.
