The sixth trilateral meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Pakistan, China and Afghanistan began in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Tuesday.
Pakistan is being represented by Deputy Prime Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, who is joined by the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister and Special Representative for Afghanistan, Ambassador Mohammad Sadiq, along with senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the ministry, discussions will focus on boosting cooperation between the three countries, particularly in trade, regional connectivity and counter-terrorism. The Deputy Prime Minister is also scheduled to hold bilateral talks with Afghanistan’s Acting Foreign Minister on issues concerning both nations.
The previous round of talks took place in Beijing on 21 May, shortly after the India–Pakistan standoff, where the Pakistani and Chinese foreign ministers discussed trilateral matters.
On Tuesday, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in Kabul for the talks. Wang Yi will take part in the trilateral meeting with Afghan and Pakistani officials, focusing on regional cooperation and diplomatic engagement.
The agenda is expected to include a review of progress on earlier commitments, such as counter-terrorism collaboration, extending the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) into Afghanistan, and reinforcing regional trade and connectivity.
