BEIJING, April 8 – Chinese diplomatic officials announced Wednesday that representatives from Afghanistan and Pakistan have committed to seeking a comprehensive resolution to their ongoing dispute during mediated discussions held in the Chinese city of Urumqi.
During a routine press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning revealed that both nations made commitments during the China-hosted meetings to avoid any actions that might worsen tensions or create additional complications in their relationship.
The diplomatic efforts address a conflict that erupted between the neighboring countries in October of last year. Mao indicated that China plans to maintain its role as an intermediary, continuing discussions with both Afghanistan and Pakistan while offering a neutral venue for future diplomatic exchanges.
