Afghanistan: Chinese Foreign Minister on first visit to Afghanistan

KABUL, 25 March 2022, (TON): China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in Kabul, a week before Beijing hosts a meeting of Afghanistan's neighbours on how to assist the Taliban government.

Even before the Taliban seized control of the country in August, Beijing had sought to maintain ties with the group as US-led foreign forces withdrew. However, like other countries, China has so far not officially recognised the Taliban government.

Ahmad Yasir, a top Taliban official tweeted "Chinese Foreign Minister arrives in Kabul for talks with Islamic Emirate leaders.”

Soon after his arrival he went into a meeting with Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.

Wang arrived in Kabul from Islamabad where he attended a two-day meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
