China attaches importance to the Afghan Taliban’s announcement of the formation of an interim government and some key roles, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said in a press briefing Wednesday.
“This has put an end to the anarchy in Afghanistan that lasted for over three weeks and is ‘a necessary step’ for Afghanistan to restore domestic order and pursue post-war reconstruction, ” he added.
China’s position on the Afghanistan issue is consistent and clear, said Wang, adding that China upholds a policy of non-interference, respects Afghanistan’s sovereign independence and territorial integrity, and supports the Afghan people in choosing a development path that suits their national conditions.
“We respect the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Afghanistan and uphold the principle of non-interference in the country’s internal affairs,” Wang stressed.
Regarding questions that currently released members of the new government are all from the Taliban, Wang called on the Taliban to consult with all ethnicities and all sides to meet the expectations of the Afghan people and the international community.
“We have also noted the Afghan Taliban’s promise of ensuring all people benefit from the new government,” said Wang.
“The Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan is operating normally and China stands ready to maintain communication with the new Afghan government and leaders, said Wang.
