A trilateral meeting amongst Pakistan-Afghanistan and China on Saturday agreed on regional realignment and extension of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also agreed on the strategic front that Indian influence in Afghanistan would be limited to diplomatic missions, if the alignment worked in a proper manner, sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decisions\u0097confirmed after a closed-door meeting among Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, China’s special envoy Yue Xiaoyong, and Pakistan’s Special Representative Mohammad Sadiq \u2014 signal a bold move toward regional realignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources said the Afghan Taliban have silently supported Islamabad’s stance on the neutral investigation of the April 22 Pahalgam incident and would keep their distance from the Indian club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After multiple meetings including one-on-one meetings on Friday night and Saturday, it was decided that the Afghan Taliban will host the sixth round of trilateral foreign ministers’ talks with China and Pakistan in Kabul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These will be the first high-level negotiations to take place under the Taliban’s leadership, source added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China and Pakistan also greenlighted support for deeper political and economic cooperation with Afghanistan while sidelining Western influence in South and Central Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources said China would support the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan politically and economically which will also be connected with regional countries through road links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the ongoing trilateral engagements, Pakistan’s special envoy joined the Chinese special representative in a meeting with Afghan Commerce Minister Azizi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special envoy termed the meetings as constructive and helpful in strengthening trade and economic cooperation. The three sides agreed to build on the understandings from the May 2023 FM-level trilateral in Islamabad, especially on extending CPEC to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip of Pakistan’s special envoy was aimed at gaining support from neighboring countries on Pakistan-India conflict, regional connection on Chinese initiatives, and on wiping out terrorist group IS-KP from Afghan soil, sources added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on X, Ambassador Sadiq noted that the first trilateral Pakistan-China-Afghanistan meeting provided an opportunity for convergence of views on economic and security cooperation as well as regional stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
