Kabul: Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, during his two-day official visit to Islamabad, has urged the Afghan ruling body to pay heed to the security concerns of neighbouring countries, and take steps to address them.
China’s top diplomat made these remarks in a joint press stakeout alongside Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in Islamabad on Saturday.
“We hope that Taliban will form an inclusive government and give rights to all ethnic groups,” he added.
The Chinese FM said Beijing was ready to expand security and counter-terrorism cooperation with Kabul and Islamabad to eliminate terror outfits from the region.
He said the Afghan people had been suffering for many years and urged the international community to take steps to alleviate the plight of the people of the country.
Earlier, during the 4th round of the Pakistan-China Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue in Islamabad, which was co-chaired by Gang and Bilawal, both sides also discussed the Afghan situation.
The two sides underscored the need for the international community to provide continued assistance and support to Afghanistan including through unfreezing of Afghanistan’s overseas financial assets.
