KABUL – In a landmark gathering today, the foreign ministers of Pakistan and China convened in Kabul to reinforce their strategic ties and discuss regional stability. The meeting, hosted in Afghanistan’s capital, aimed at deepening cooperation around shared security concerns and fostering diplomatic alignment amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.
Officials from both nations emphasised the importance of synchronised foreign policy directions, particularly in addressing the intertwined challenges in South and Central Asia. They explored avenues for enhanced collaboration in trade, energy, and infrastructure development — aligning closely with the shared vision under the Belt and Road Initiative framework.
The talks also served as a platform to review the evolving security environment, with a focus on addressing cross-border threats, stabilising Afghanistan, and tailoring collective counterterrorism strategies. Both foreign ministers stressed the value of coordinated regional responses to transnational challenges and reaffirmed their commitment to sustained engagement.
Observers interpret the Kabul meeting as a tangible step toward reinforcing the trilateral dialogue mechanism that several Chinese-led regional platforms advocate. As Pakistan and China navigate shifting regional contours, this meeting in Kabul signifies both continuity and consolidation in their strategic partnership.
