In the meantime, Chinese Prime Minister has also declared that providing peace in Afghanistan is in interest of all regional countries.

Since 2002, China has been supporting the new government in Kabul both financially and politically. China is one of the biggest foreign investors in Afghanistan.

At the other site, Pakistani Prime Minister in a separate meeting with Chinese PM said that Pakistan supports peace in Afghanistan.

“I proposed a mechanism steering committee between Pakistan, US, Afghanistan and China which will supervise Peace process and reconciliation in Afghanistan and coordinate efforts regarding the issue,” said Pakistani PM.
