| Summary, etc |
Over the past few years, China has increased bilateral engagement with Afghanistan to enlarge financial and commercial co-operation. Historically China has maintained low key positions on Afghanistan in past. However, under president Xi Jinping’s foreign policy reforms in 2013, China began to pursue active diplomacy in Afghanistan. There were considerable augmentations in bilateral trade and investments from China to Afghanistan. China has vowed to play constructive role in Afghanistan to assist the war-torn nation in rebuilding and rehabilitation. Likewise, China is victim of terrorism and determinism by Uyghur separatist and extremist organizations like ETIM which reportedly received support from Afghan Taliban in the past. China has actively engaged with Afghanistan on this issue and even negotiated with Taliban on ETIM presence. Apart from security aspects, China has been keen to tap minerals and rare earth reserves which remain unexplored. Afghanistan’s geopolitical location-core of Central and South Asia, Middle East and East Asia has attracted China to expand CPEC to Afghanistan. However, possibility of extending CPEC to Afghanistan will largely depends on stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan.- Reproduced |
