China and Pakistan urge IEA to fight terrorism ‘firmly’
China and Pakistan have called on the Islamic Emirate to firmly combat terrorism and not allow Afghanistan’s soil to be used for terrorist acts.
In a joint statement which was released after the five-day visit of the Prime Minister of Pakistan to Beijing, it was stated that the two sides agreed to strengthen communication and coordination on the Afghanistan issue.
They called for concerted efforts of the international community to positively support Afghanistan in properly addressing challenges in such areas as humanitarianism and economic development, encourage the interim government of Afghanistan to build an inclusive political framework, adopt moderate policies, and pursue good-neighborliness.
China and Pakistan also called on the international community to encourage the IEA to firmly combat terrorism, including not allowing its territory to be used for terrorist acts.
Both sides agreed to play a constructive role in helping Afghanistan to achieve stable development and integrate into the international community.
Pakistan has repeatedly claimed that attacks in its soil originate in Afghanistan. Islamabad has claimed that the attack on Chinese engineers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province had been planned in Afghanistan and the perpetrator was an Afghan.
However, the Islamic Emirate has rejected the claims and has always emphasized that it does not allow Afghanistan’s soil to be used against any other country.

Iranian envoy urges IEA not to see advice as interference
Iran’s special representative for Afghanistan, Hassan Kazemi Qomi, said on Saturday that advising the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) does not mean interference in its internal affairs, adding that the Tehran meeting was a good platform for the IEA which declined to attend.
Qomi stated this in a press conference after the second meeting of the regional contact group for Afghanistan between the representatives of Russia, China, Pakistan and Iran in Tehran.
The envoy emphasized that no country in the world has acted as much as Iran in supporting the people of Afghanistan and engaging with the Islamic Emirate.
He pointed out that Afghanistan’s neighbors are looking to prepare a “comprehensive road map” for rebuilding the country.
Referring to the first and second UN-sponsored Doha meetings on Afghanistan, Qomi said that what was discussed in the meetings was not something that would help Afghanistan.
He mentioned that one of the issues was the appointment of a special representative by the United Nations for Afghanistan, while UNAMA is present in Afghanistan.
The diplomat also noted that Tehran will help any initiative that paves the way for the Islamic Emirate as a responsible government, but if something is to be imposed or has no result, it will not support it.
He said that efforts are underway to change the agenda of the upcoming third Doha meeting, and the policy is that the Islamic Emirate attend the meeting.
The Islamic Emirate has confirmed that it was invited to the meeting in Tehran, but did not accept it.
Zakir Jalaly, Director of the Third Political Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan, said that the Afghan government expects that meetings on Afghanistan should be held through the existing mechanisms, not new ones.
He added that the Afghan government is engaged in discussions with relevant sides about the upcoming third Doha meeting.
The third Doha meeting on Afghanistan is scheduled to be held on June 30.
