On the 14th, Chinese President Xi Jinping called the new UAE President Mohammed to congratulate him on his inauguration as the UAE President.

  Xi Jinping pointed out that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Afghanistan, bilateral relations have developed in an all-round and in-depth manner. The two sides have always firmly supported each other on issues concerning each other's core interests and major concerns. The pragmatic cooperation in various fields has yielded fruitful results. Friendship is deepening.

I attach great importance to the development of China-Afghanistan relations and am willing to work with President Mohammed to deepen China-Afghanistan comprehensive strategic partnership for the benefit of the two countries and peoples.
