Pakistan and China have affirmed their determination to promote the cause of peace and development in war-torn Afghanistan.
They hoped the next meeting of China-Afghanistan-Pakistan Trilateral Foreign Ministers Dialogue would take place at the earliest to facilitate reconciliation efforts in Afghanistan.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi conferred on the overall regional situation during a phone conversation on Friday.
Wang Yi commended Pakistan’s sincere and relentless efforts to promote peace and stability in the region/ He also welcomed Pakistan’s support China during challenging times.
The contact comes against the backdrop of a violent border face-off between Indian and Chinese armies in the Ladakh area of Kashmir last month
Qureshi underscored the security situation was deteriorating and that India’s “belligerent posture” was imperiling peace in the region, the Foreign Office said.
