Pak-China joint bid only solution to Afghan imbroglio “The Afghans have the right to rule and it is the fundamental responsibility of the world community to extend full support to them, and China on its part would provide the required support and assistance towards this goal,” the official said. Pak-China joint bid only solution to Afghan imbroglio By: Salim Bokhari \| Published: April 20, 2011 Print Facebook Digg StumbleUpon Text Size BEIJING - The Afghanistan problem cannot be resolved until two important states in the region – the People’s Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan – join hands and make concerted efforts towards the objective. China is not developing seaports in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and some other countries for any military purposes, therefore no conspiracy be attached to it. These were the views expressed by a top-ranking official of the Chinese Foreign Office in an exclusive briefing held here Tuesday for the visiting media delegation from Pakistan on a goodwill mission as part of the 60th anniversary celebrations of the foundation of Sino-Pakistan relations in 1950. The Chinese official said: “Rain or shine, Sino-Pak relations would stand all testing times like in the past.” He said Beijing firmly believed that despite all odds some progress had been made towards Afghan solution and the prevailing situation was not at all discouraging. “Security situation is still in shambles and incidents of suicide bombings and sporadic terrorist activities are continuing,” the official however added. He was of the view that the world community should respect Afghan sovereignty and also realise that people in the war-torn Muslim country have been suffering for well over four decades now. “The Afghans have the right to rule and it is the fundamental responsibility of the world community to extend full support to them, and China on its part would provide the required support and assistance towards this goal,” the official said. To a question from this correspondent, the official said terrorism anywhere in the world had its own domestic and international reasons. He said his country was against all forms of terrorist activities and added that Islamabad and Beijing had joined hands to eliminate this menace and both were cooperating with the world community in all possible manners. However, he made it clear that the stakeholders should not try to direct their efforts to single out any one religion and shift the blame on it. There was a dire need to address the root causes, failing which the trouble would continue indefinitely, the official remarked. nation.com.pk
