“We respect Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and will maintain relations with the new Afghan government,” a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said, according to a foreign news agency. The establishment of an interim government is a necessary step for peace and reconstruction in Afghanistan and should be commended.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Afghanistan’s interim government would listen to people of all races and groups and prove by its actions that they live up to the aspirations of their people and the expectations of the international community.
On the other hand, Japan has also announced to continue talks with the Taliban. A spokesman for the Japanese government said that they are observing the actions of the Taliban.
