CHINA DENIES INVITATION BY THE TALIBANS TO ITS GOVERNMENT INAUGURAL CEREMONY IN AFGHANISTAN
China Denies Report on Invitation to Taliban New Government Inaugural Ceremony in Afghanistan.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday did not respond to a media report claiming that the Taliban has invited China, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, Iran and Qatar to attend the new government formation ceremony in Afghanistan.
China is already coordinating its evolving policy on Afghanistan with its "all-weather ally" Pakistan and Russia which also share borders with Afghanistan.
Beijing, which has kept its Embassy open in Kabul along with Pakistan and Russia, is awaiting the formation of a government by the Taliban to decide on recognising it amidst firm indications by the US, the UK and other western countries that they will not be in a hurry to endorse the new government in Kabul.
Asked about a media report that the Taliban has invited China and five other countries namely, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, Iran and Qatar to participate in the new government formation ceremony in Afghanistan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said: "I have no information to offer at this moment".
He reiterated that China supports "Afghanistan forming an open, inclusive, broadly-based government upholding moderate and prudent domestic and foreign policies and live in good terms with the neighbouring countries".
