China and Russia made their presence felt in Kabul on Thursday, indicating they did not forget Afghanistan regardless of their own preoccupation, and expressed solidarity with the Taliban regime a day after it moved Girls from high school.

Chinese Foreign Minister and Member of the State Council of Wang Yi made a stopover of surprises in Kabul before he appeared in Delhi at night. He is the highest ranking Chinese official to visit Kabul after the Afghan Taliban takeover last August.

The large Russian delegation led by Zamir Kabulov, a special representative for Afghanistan, also met Taliban officials to discuss economic cooperation.

Wang, who arrived in Kabul from Islamabad after attending the OIC Foreign Minister’s Conference, met Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi and Deputy Prime Minister Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.

China held a meeting of neighboring foreign ministers Afghanistan later this month. This will be the meeting of the three ministers, but the first in which Afghanistan is scheduled to participate. The first meeting was held in Pakistan last September, and the second in Iran in November.

According to Xinhua and Global Times, Wang told Baradar that China welcomed “Afghan active participation in the construction of belt and road joints, and was ready to extend the economic corridor of China-Pakistan to Afghanistan, replicate a more successful experience, and make Afghanistan, and make Afghanistan and make Afghanistan, with geographical power as ‘Asian heart’, bridge for regional connectivity “.

He said he hoped Afghanistan would be “firmly and firmly” fulfilling “his commitment not to allow external forces to use the Afghan region to oppose neighboring countries or endanger the security of other countries”.

He told Baradar that China was “the only big country that had not hurt Afghanistan”. China’s policy on the Afghan problem, he said, was based on “three things” and “three never.”

China respects the independence of Afghanistan, territorial sovereignty and integrity, respecting independent choices made by the Afghan people, and respecting the trust and habit of Afghanistan. China has never interfered in Internal Afghanistan affairs, never looking for personal interests in Afghanistan, and never search for what is called the influence field. “

According to Xinhua, he also expressed hope that Afghanistan “will continue to build inclusive political structures, implementing wise policies, it is better to protect the rights and interests of women and children, and show Muslim tolerance and friendliness”.
