ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has briefed China about the use of Afghan territory by the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and its affiliates, and shared fresh evidence on how the neighbouring country is threatening regional peace.
The evidence was shared with the Chinese special envoy on Afghanistan Ambassador Yue Xiaoyong during his visit to Islamabad on Monday, official sources told The Express Tribune.
The Chinese top diplomat on Afghan affairs travelled to the capital just days after the Russian special envoy Zamir Kabulov visited Islamabad to discuss the latest developments in the neighbouring country with Pakistani authorities.
A statement issued here by the Foreign Office said the Chinese special envoy met Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch. He also held detailed consultations with the Additional Foreign Secretary (Afghanistan and West Asia), Ambassador Ahmad Naseem Warraich.
“The two sides exchanged views on relations with Afghanistan. They reaffirmed the vital role of neighbouring countries for a peaceful and stable Afghanistan,” read the brief statement issued by the FO.
