China has urged the international community to maintain engagement with Afghanistan, warning that isolating the country would undermine efforts to ensure stability and long-term development.

Speaking at the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Geng Shuang, China’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, said Afghanistan remains stable overall but continues to face “multiple challenges” ranging from humanitarian needs to counter-terrorism, human rights, and economic development.

“The international community should take an objective, fair, rational, and pragmatic attitude toward Afghanistan to help the country get on the right track and integrated into the international community,” Geng said.

He stressed that Afghanistan’s reintegration must be a gradual process requiring “long-term commitment,” and called for sustained dialogue and trust-building with Kabul.

The UN secretary-general’s latest report highlighted ongoing terrorist threats inside Afghanistan. Geng meanwhile urged the Afghan authorities to intensify counter-terrorism cooperation with regional partners to prevent militant groups from exploiting Afghan territory. He cautioned against “double standards and selectivity” in global counter-terrorism efforts.

On the humanitarian front, Geng appealed to traditional donors to increase funding and “stop politicizing humanitarian relief.”

Without naming Washington, he also urged “a certain country” to resume aid, lift unilateral sanctions, and fulfill its “historical responsibilities” toward the Afghan people.

China also reiterated its call for women’s equal access to education, healthcare, jobs, and participation in public affairs, saying these are essential for Afghanistan’s “peace, stability, development, and prosperity.” Geng encouraged Kabul to adopt more inclusive governance and measures to safeguard basic rights.

As a neighbor with deep economic and security interests, China signaled its readiness to expand trade, connectivity, and regional cooperation with Afghanistan.

“China stands ready to continue working with all parties to promote peace, development, and lasting stability in Afghanistan,” Geng told the Council.

Afghanistan’s Chief of Armed Forces, Fasihuddin Fitrat, said in his Eid message that Pakistan’s military regime has violated the ceasefire along the Durand line.

According to the Eid message released by the Ministry of Defense, several civilians were killed in attacks carried out by Pakistani forces in border areas.

Fitrat added that the continuation of Pakistan’s attacks despite the ceasefire “demonstrates a lack of commitment and deception” on the part of the country.

He stressed that the Islamic Emirate has refrained from retaliatory action in order to prevent further deterioration of the situation and has remained committed to the ceasefire.

However, he warned that if such attacks are repeated, “the ceasefire will become meaningless,” and the Islamic Emirate will deliver a “decisive response” to Pakistan’s actions.

It is worth noting that the Islamic Emirate and Pakistan reached a temporary ceasefire on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr through mediation by Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
