NEW YORK — At the third informal meeting of the foreign ministers of China, Russia, Pakistan, and Iran, held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi proposed a four-point strategy aimed at guiding Afghanistan towards stability and reconstruction.
According to Namibia Press Agency, Wang, who also serves on the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, acknowledged the relative stability in Afghanistan over the past three years but emphasized the considerable challenges that remain for its reconstruction and long-term stability. His proposals outline a comprehensive approach to addressing these issues collaboratively among the attending nations.
Wang’s first suggestion focuses on shared security efforts, including enhanced intelligence exchanges and expanded law enforcement cooperation to eradicate violent terrorist groups within Afghanistan. His second point calls for the implementation of the Tunxi Initiative, aimed at supporting Afghanistan’s reconstruction through comprehensive measures.
Additionally, Wang stressed the importance of transforming Afghanistan into a platform for multilateral cooperation rather than a battleground for geopolitical strife, thereby upholding justice. Lastly, he urged the international community to provide positive guidance by concentrating on the most pressing challenges Afghanistan faces today.
These suggestions mark a significant effort by the involved countries to coordinate their strategies on Afghanistan, reflecting a mutual interest in fostering stability in the region.
