China not to send peacekeeping troops to Afghanistan

Tuesday, Sep 11

China on Tuesday ruled out any plans to contribute to the proposed multinational peacekeeping force in Afghanistan but said that it is "actively" considering reopening its embassy in Kabul.
"China has no precedence and method of sending its troops to participate in the multinational peacekeeping force. We will make a contribution to the Afghan peace efforts in our own way," foreign ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said.

China is, however, not opposed to an international peacekeeping force in Afghanistan provided it has the authorisation of the United Nations and the consent of the Afghan people, she told reporters.

On the resumption of its diplomatic mission in Kabul, she said Beijing was "actively considering" it and a diplomatic team is due to visit the Afghan capital this week.

"The Chinese foreign ministry is now considering restoration of the work of its embassy in Afghanistan," she said.

China had withdrawn its diplomatic personnel from Afghanistan in 1993 citing to security reasons.
