“Documents seen by Reuters show that China put forward a proposal for a ‘peace and reconciliation forum’ that Afghan officials said would gather representatives from Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the Taliban command” Reuters’ Jessica Donati writes. “China’s proposal has not yet been formally announced because Afghan President Ashraf Ghani wants more time to see whether the Taliban and Pakistan are willing to join in, according to his aides”
The article also quotes AAN’s Thomas Ruttig on an new attempt to improve Afghan-Pakistani relations:
“There’s no guarantee things will change, but it’s certainly worth a try … the relationship between China and Pakistan is much less tense than the U.S.-Pakistani relationship,” said Thomas Ruttig of the Afghanistan Analysts Network.
