KABUL: The top Taliban delegation visiting China convinced Beijing Group would not allow Afghanistan to be used as a base to plan against other countries, a rebel spokesman said on Wednesday.
This delegation was in China for talks with Beijing officials, spokesman Mohammad Naeem told AFP, when the rebels continued sweeping attacks in Afghanistan – including regions along the border together with them.
Their borders are only 76 kilometers long – and at steep heights without a crossroads – but Beijing afraid of Afghanistan can be used as a staging place for a separatist Uyghur in Xinjiang.
“The Islamic Emirates convinced China that the Afghan land would not be used against the security of any country,” Naeem said.
“They (China) promise not to interfere in Afghanistan affairs, but instead help solve problems and bring peace.” Taliban officials have revived their international diplomacy in recent months, seeking global recognition when they hope to return to power.
They have made progress sweeping in Afghanistan since May, when US foreign troops start the last stage of withdrawal because it will be completed next month.
Beijing hosted the Taliban delegation in 2019, but the back of the back door with militants stretched back, through Pakistan.
The leaders of the Communist Party in Beijing and the Taliban Fundamentalist have a little general ideological foundation, but experts feel that joint pragmatism can see differences in sensitive to self-esteem.
For Beijing, cooperative and cooperative administration in Kabul will pave the way for the expansion of belts and road initiatives to Afghanistan and through the Central Asian Republic.
Taliban, meanwhile, will consider Chinese investment sources and important economic support.
“China can deal with the Taliban …
but they still find the agenda and motivation of Taliban religion inherently uncomfortable,” Andrew Small, the author of the “Chinese-Pakistani axis”, to AFP earlier this month.
“They have never been sure how willing or the ability of the Taliban really enforces the agreement on problems such as hiding the Uyghur militant.” Taliban campaigns have so far seen them capture a number of districts, border crossings and surround some provincial capitals.
Government forces have left several rural districts without fighting, but digging to maintain provincial capital even when rebels tighten snares around the cities.
The rights groups accused the rebels to commit a cruelty in the area under their control, including in the border city of Spin Boldak, where Afghan officials accused the Taliban fighters to kill around 100 civilians.
The Taliban nine-member team in China was led by Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, co-founder from the hardline movement.
