Recently, the Afghan Taliban** hosted a meeting of the Regional Cooperation Initiative in Kabul, which invited representatives and ambassadors from 11 neighbouring and regional countries. The topics covered a wide range of topics, including promoting positive interaction between regional countries and the Taliban**, strengthening coordination of regional cooperation, developing hard and soft connections to promote regional economic development, and advocating for the lifting of unilateral sanctions against Afghanistan. Participating countries included China, India, Russia, Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Indonesia and Kyrgyzstan. The holding of this meeting means that the Taliban** have recognized the important clues of the future direction of China's neighbors in Afghanistan, and hope to gain more support and recognition by building constructive relations with their neighbors.
It is worth noting that this is the first meeting of the Taliban in Kabul, and the presence of representatives and special representatives of neighbouring and regional countries also shows their concern and expectations for the Taliban regime. At the same time, the Taliban**'s move is all the more important in the run-up to the second meeting on Afghanistan, which the UN Secretary-General is scheduled to host in Doha at the end of this month. In addition, the meeting was originally scheduled to start on Monday morning, but was postponed to the evening due to bad weather. These details show the importance and determination of the Taliban** to this meeting.
At the meeting, Afghan Interim Foreign Minister Mottaki delivered a speech and called on the participating countries to strengthen regional dialogue and enhance positive interaction with Afghanistan. He highlighted the Taliban's current economy-centric foreign policy and mentioned the positive developments made in Afghanistan in terms of transit and transit. Mottaki also said that Afghanistan wants to be integrated through active engagement and common interests with the international community, rather than confrontation or controversy. He also put forward proposals to explore regional cooperation, lift unilateral sanctions against Afghanistan, and expressed Atta**'s willingness to cooperate with neighboring countries on the basis of common interests and mutual respect.
The holding of this meeting demonstrates the Taliban**'s urgent need to gain the recognition and support of the international community. However, the Taliban regime faces multiple challenges. On the one hand, some Western countries and their allies remain wary of their human rights records and women's education, and have reservations about the Taliban's recognition and cooperation. On the other hand, the Taliban need to ensure a secure environment in the country, and issues such as combating terrorist forces and curbing transnational crime remain top priorities. In addition, the Taliban need to demonstrate flexibility and inclusiveness on human rights and social issues, particularly with regard to the rights and interests of Afghan women and ethnic minorities.
China has always maintained a constructive attitude on the Afghan issue and has maintained contacts and cooperation with the Atta regime. Last year, China's ambassador to Afghanistan took office in Kabul, becoming the first ambassador to Afghanistan to be officially appointed after the Taliban took power, which reflects the importance that China attaches to Afghanistan and hopes to continue to promote dialogue and cooperation between China and Afghanistan. In October last year, China also invited representatives of the Taliban regime to participate in the Belt and Road Forum, which was the first time that the Taliban regime had participated in a high-level international multilateral conference since it came to power. In addition, China has also accepted the temporary dispatch of an ambassador from Afghanistan, becoming the first country to accept an ambassador from Afghanistan since the Taliban took power.
Although these moves do not mean that China has officially recognized the Taliban regime, China*** has given clear suggestions and requirements. China expressed the hope that Afghanistan will be able to build an open, inclusive, peaceful and stable state power and ensure the territorial integrity of Afghanistan and the well-being of its people. China also calls on the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to help Afghanistan cope with its economic difficulties and humanitarian crisis. At the same time, China stressed the need to resolutely combat terrorist and extremist forces and ensure that the Taliban regime can fulfill its commitments made in the UN Security Council to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a safe haven.
In general, China has a pragmatic attitude towards the Atta regime and hopes to promote peace and stability in Afghanistan and contribute to regional development and security through contacts and cooperation with the Taliban**. At the same time, China also hopes that the Atta regime will improve the human rights situation in accordance with the expectations of the international community, and is committed to cracking down on terrorist forces and ensuring regional security and stability.
