US EditionPakistan and China call for ‘visible and verifiable’ steps against Afghan-based terror groups
Pakistan and China emphasize urgent action against terrorist groups like the TTP, citing attacks on Chinese nationals and infrastructure linked to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
- On January 5, 2024, Pakistan and China urged more `visible and verifiable` steps to counter terrorist groups based in Afghanistan after Dec. 4 talks in Beijing.
- Thousands of Chinese workers are engaged in CPEC projects, and China and Pakistan cited protecting them after a 2024 suicide car bombing that killed five Chinese people.
- Since early October, Pakistan carried out airstrikes inside Afghanistan targeting alleged Taliban hideouts, and Afghan forces retaliated by striking Pakistani military posts, claiming to have killed 58 soldiers while Pakistan acknowledged losing 23 troops; fighting paused after a Qatar-brokered ceasefire.
- Afghanistan's government in Kabul did not immediately respond to the joint statement, and August talks in Kabul and Istanbul talks failed to visibly advance CPEC extension discussions.
- The TTP is distinct from Afghanistan's Taliban, which forbids attacks from its territory, and calls for demonstrable action could reshape Pakistan-Afghanistan relations and regional security.
