Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China supports an “Afghan-led and Afghan-owned” reconciliation framework among various forces in Afghanistan as he met with his Afghan counterpart Mohammad Haneef Atmar in Dushanbe, Tajikistan on Wednesday.
Wang said the hasty withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces has intensified the security threats in Afghanistan, and the urgent priority is to prevent a civil war, restart internal negotiation and crackdown on terrorism.
