The world should guide and support Afghanistan as it transitions to a new government instead of putting more pressure on it, China’s State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday in a call with British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
The situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban has retaken power 20 years after it was forced out by a US-led invasion, remains unstable and uncertain, Wang was quoted as saying by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“The international community should encourage and guide it in a positive direction instead of exerting more pressure,” which will be conducive to stabilising the situation, he added, according to the ministry’s statement on the call.
