Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the need for dialogue between Afghanistan and Pakistan during a phone call with Afghan Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi on Friday, March 13. With tensions simmering, Wang stressed that "force would only complicate the situation" and reaffirmed China's role as a mediator in fostering regional stability.
Muttaqi thanked China for its peace-building efforts, stating that war-weary Afghanistan seeks to become "a source of regional peace" and will not allow its territory to be used against neighbors. Both sides agreed that dialogue—not military action—is the only viable path forward.
Wang highlighted China's impartial stance and revealed that a special envoy is shuttling between the two nations to facilitate talks. "Afghanistan and Pakistan are inseparable brothers," he said, urging calm and early face-to-face negotiations.
The discussion also touched on Iran's situation, with Wang pledging China's commitment to collaborate internationally for peace. As young global citizens watch, this diplomatic push could redefine stability in South Asia. 💬✨
