Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz Thursday said China has expressed its willingness to mediate between Pakistan and Afghanistan for improving their bilateral ties.
While talking to media he said, “China will facilitate the negotiations between the two neighbours.”
Aziz said, “China is ready to mediate for rapprochement between Afghanistan and Pakistan and for this purpose China’s foreign minister will undertake visits to Kabul and Islamabad in the current month.”
“The meeting between Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Astana took place in friendly environment,” he mentioned.
“At the meeting, the two sides agreed that leveling allegations against each other will not work, therefore, they should work to do away with trust deficit,” he said.
He said, “As China wants good relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan so it is good option to involve it.”
“At the Astana meeting, it was agreed upon in principle that there is need for a mechanism for the redressal of each other’s concerns,” he added.
Aziz hoped that, “Bilateral relations will improve after the recent meeting between Ashraf Ghani and Nawaz Sharif.”
