Pakistan and China are moving forward with plans to extend the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) into Afghanistan, a strategic step aimed at bolstering regional connectivity and economic cooperation. The expansion, along with the revival of the Pakistan-China-Afghanistan trilateral framework, was discussed in a recent briefing to the Pakistani Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Pakistan Today, officials from Pakistan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs outlined the details during a session in Islamabad, where they reviewed key aspects of Pakistan\u2019s foreign relations, regional developments, and economic diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials emphasized that Pakistan\u2019s relationship with China remains strong, underscoring the \u201call-weather\u201d strategic partnership between the two nations. Strengthening ties with Beijing, they stated, continues to be a cornerstone of Pakistan\u2019s foreign policy. This includes unwavering support for China\u2019s position on regional and international issues, particularly the One-China policy and matters related to territorial integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The briefing also touched upon China\u2019s consistent backing of Pakistan in various areas, including sovereignty, economic stability, counter-terrorism, and support for Pakistan\u2019s exit from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Officials stated that reviving the trilateral framework is part of broader efforts to foster greater cooperation and connectivity in the region, with an eye on long-term stability and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move also reflects both countries\u2019 desire to integrate Afghanistan into the regional economic landscape further, a key element in fostering peace and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
