On August 18, 2021, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a telephone conversation with Pakistani Foreign Minister Qureshi.
Wang Yi first congratulated Pakistan on its grand celebration of the 75th Independence Day and wished Pakistan prosperity and strength.
Wang Yi said that the situation in Afghanistan has undergone drastic changes in the past few days and has become the focus of global attention.
Facts have proved that the so-called "democratic reform" is not in line with reality, but has suffered from the consequences. The lessons are worth remembering.
As an important neighbor of Afghanistan and a responsible country in the region, China and Pakistan need to strengthen communication and coordination under the current situation and play a constructive role in supporting the smooth transition of Afghanistan and maintaining regional peace and stability.
The first is to encourage all parties in Afghanistan to strengthen unity and form a new political structure that suits Afghanistan's national conditions, is supported by the people, and is broad and inclusive.
The second is to support Afghanistan's resolute fight against terrorism and must not become a gathering place for terrorism again.
Third, the Chinese and Pakistani embassies in Afghanistan are still operating normally, and both sides should communicate with Atta to ensure the safety of Chinese and Pakistani personnel and institutions in Afghanistan.
The fourth is to advance international cooperation concerning Afghanistan in an orderly manner. Various mechanisms should complement each other and expand consensus. In particular, the unique role of neighboring countries should be brought into play and the situation in Afghanistan should gradually enter a virtuous circle.
Wang Yi said that China appreciates the important progress made in the investigation of the Dasu terrorist attack in Pakistan and hopes that Pakistan will do its best to arrest the perpetrators, punish them severely in accordance with the law, give an account to the people of the two countries, and effectively deter the forces attempting to undermine Sino-Pakistani friendship.
At the same time, accelerate the advancement of enhanced full-process security measures and upgraded security cooperation mechanisms to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again.
Qureshi thanked China for its best wishes for Pakistan's Independence Day and its long-term support for Pakistan's national construction, saying that Pakistan will go all out to capture the perpetrators of the Dasu terrorist attack, find out the forces behind the scenes, and punish them severely.
Qureshi appreciated China's important and active role on the Afghan issue, saying that Pakistan and China are both neighboring countries of Afghanistan and the countries that most hope for peace in Afghanistan. The two sides are also all-weather strategic partners and should strengthen coordination and cooperation.
In the future, Afghanistan needs to reach a political solution through negotiation and negotiation.
At present, Ata’s occupation of Kabul has caused no bloodshed and casualties. The domestic order in Afghanistan has stabilized and life has gradually returned to normal.
All parties should support Ata in fulfilling its promises and protect the rights and interests of the Afghan people.
Pakistan is willing to strengthen communication with China, push Atta to work with all parties to form an inclusive and extensive political structure, establish a multilateral coordination mechanism covering Afghanistan’s neighboring countries as soon as possible, and urge the international community to jointly support the efforts of the various factions in Afghanistan to achieve peace and stability.
