Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is a surprise in Afghanistan for what is his first visit to the country. “The Chinese foreign minister has arrived in Kabul for talks with the leaders of the Islamic Emirate,” Ahmad Yasir, a senior official in the Taliban government, wrote on Twitter.
Wang arrived in Afghanistan after having participated, for the first time as an observer, in the 48th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC), held in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The visit, not anticipated, matured a week after the meeting that China will host of the neighbors of Afghanistan to see how to help the country after the return to power of the Taliban. China shares a rough border stretch of nearly 80 kilometers with Afghanistan, which is particularly feared because it is considered a potential channel of connection and action for Muslim Uyghur separatists in Xinjiang. Wang, who in his Asian tour also includes a stop in Nepal and India (according to press rumors), will stop shortly in Kabul for a short but crucial visit, given that the Taliban government has worked for the diplomatic recognition of China and the resumption of work at the embassy in Beijing, stopped since the head of the diplomatic representation Javid Ahmad Qaem decided to leave his post in January after months without salary.
