KABUL: China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has welcomed Russia’s recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, calling it an important step towards positive engagement.
Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China Mao Ning stated that China supports the development of relations and high-level interactions between Afghanistan and the international community.
Ning emphasized that Afghanistan should not be isolated from the world.
He also clarified that, regardless of the political situation, diplomatic relations between Afghanistan and China have never been severed. China has always sought to maintain relations based on good neighborliness, friendship, and mutual respect with the Afghan people.
This stance from China comes as expectations grow that other countries may also be prepared to recognize the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan following Russia’s lead.
