China says peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan are advancing
China said the consultation process is moving forward as the two sides seek to reduce a conflict that has killed hundreds, Mao Ning said.
- On Friday, China's Foreign Ministry announced that peace talks between the Afghan Taliban government and Pakistan are advancing, two days after representatives resumed negotiations on Wednesday in Urumqi.
- Islamabad frequently accuses the Afghan Taliban of harboring Islamist militants, particularly the Pakistani Taliban or TTP, while Kabul denies supporting the group and calls the insurgency a domestic issue.
- Late Thursday, a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a police station in Bannu district, northwestern Pakistan, killing at least five people and wounding several others.
- China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a press conference that both nations "attach importance to and welcome China's mediation," with the three parties reaching consensus on operational modes.
- Pakistan has described the current state as "open war" with Afghanistan, and the conflict has caused significant casualties on both sides since hostilities escalated in February.
