The Taliban administration’s Ministry of Defense announced that Mullah Yaqoob Mujahid, the acting defense minister, met with Jiang Xing, the Chinese ambassador in Kabul. The two sides discussed bilateral relations, security cooperation, and recent regional developments. According to a statement from the ministry, the Chinese ambassador referred to the Urumqi talks between the Taliban and Pakistan and expressed hope that this process would continue. Urumqi, in China, has previously hosted dialogues among regional parties. Furthermore, the Chinese ambassador expressed his country’s readiness to host subsequent rounds of talks between the Taliban and Pakistan. However, detailed information about the content and concrete outcomes of the Urumqi negotiations has not yet been transparently shared with the media and the public. Experts believe that security cooperation and regional dialogues can impact Afghanistan’s security situation. Nonetheless, the lack of transparency in the agreements and the Taliban administration’s role in these interactions has raised questions among the country’s residents about the implications for internal security and stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
