According to Xinhua, Chinese Ambassador to the UN Zhang Jun said that engaging the Afghan Interim Government with a pragmatic attitude is the fundamental way to enhance mutual understanding and trust and address relevant concerns.
Speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council, Mr. Zhang Jun said that the international community as a whole has a consensus on building a peaceful, stable and prosperous Afghanistan, and hopes to be able to dialogue and engage to help the Afghan Interim Government build political inclusiveness, moderate governance and build an open and inclusive political structure.
"We hope that the Afghan Interim Government will make active efforts for the benefit of the Afghan people, meet the expectations of the international community and implement independent and effective state governance, including effectively ensuring women's rights toeducation and employment," he said.
The Chinese diplomat noted that to promote dialogue and engagement, it is necessary for the Security Council sanctions committee to come up with a package of exemptions for international travel of relevant personnel of the Afghan Interim Government.
Earlier in May, the foreign ministers of China and Pakistan issued a statement calling on donors to increase humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, saying it should be separated from “political considerations”.
In addition, the joint statement also called for lifting unilateral sanctions against Afghanistan to create opportunities for economic development and prosperity for the country.
Aid to Afghanistan will fall sharply this year as donor countries protest restrictions imposed by the Taliban government on female aid workers and try to cope with a surge of crises around the world.
