The Chinese and Pakistani envoys reiterated their commitment to enhancing ties with Afghanistan based on principles of good neighborliness and mutual respect.
Special envoys for Afghanistan from China and Pakistan, Yue Xiaoyong and Mohammad Sadiq, met with acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the meeting focused on reviewing the outcomes of the fifth Afghanistan-China-Pakistan Foreign Ministers’ Dialogue and preparing for the upcoming sixth session, which will be held in Kabul.
The participants also discussed the upcoming fifth meeting of foreign ministers from Afghanistan’s neighboring countries, as well as broader political and economic cooperation.
Muttaqi highlighted the importance of strengthening political and economic ties between Afghanistan, China, and Pakistan, expressing hope for continued positive momentum in bilateral and trilateral relations.
Aziz Marij, former diplomat, said: “In a situation where Afghanistan is facing challenges and global isolation, maintaining relations and dialogue with countries like China—and especially Pakistan—is highly beneficial. Moreover, the fact that upcoming regional meetings are being held in Kabul is, in itself, a privilege for Afghanistan.”
