China hopes steadily implementation
Hua Chunying said China noted the consensus among various parties in Afghanistan on the formation of the negotiating team as well as the Taliban’s reservations.
“We hope all important items in the US-Taliban peace agreement can be steadily implemented, including withdrawal of troops, reduction of violence, release of prisoners and intra-Afghan negotiations.”
China firmly supports the broad and inclusive peace and reconciliation process that is Afghan-led and Afghan-owned.
She said We support all efforts towards a political settlement of the Afghan issue.
Hua Chunying said We call on all parties in Afghanistan to put the country and people first, respond to Secretary-General Guterres’ initiative and the aspiration of the international community, and cease conflict and confrontation.
Moreover, she said we hope they will start intra-Afghan talks at an early date, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation.
She further said China hope they would make proper political and security arrangement for the future, and work together for peace and stability in the country.
China stands ready to join relevant sides and the international community to continue playing a constructive role in promoting the peace and reconciliation process in Afghanistan.
Earlier, Beijing Media Network sought her comment on the latest developments in Afghan.
The BMN drew her attention to technical teams from the government and Taliban held discussions on the release of prisoners in Kabul and made some progress.
It noted the government released a list of participants for intra-Afghan talks, which has got the consent from major parties in Afghanistan but not the Taliban.
UN Secretary-General Guterres called for a global ceasefire to focus on fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. This is generally believed to apply to the Afghan issue as well. In view of all this, BMN sought her comment.
