Despite India’s repeated attempts to sow discord between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the recent diplomatic engagements between the two brotherly nations have significantly deepened their ties, while China’s emergence as a trusted regional partner has further strengthened the trilateral alliance with a shared commitment to economic cooperation and mutual security.
The formal inclusion of Afghanistan in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) marks the beginning of a new era, decisively countering India’s disruptive ambitions. With China’s support, the historically rooted cultural, religious, and civilizational ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan are evolving into a strategic partnership founded on mutual respect, stability, and development.
India’s fabricated narratives aimed at isolating Pakistan have failed, as Afghanistan embraces regional integration by linking Kabul to Gwadar through CPEC. This transformative connectivity is set to unlock new avenues for trade, development, and linkages across South and Central Asia.
During a meeting in Beijing, Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar held discussions with Afghanistan’s Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, where both leaders recalled recent bilateral visits and welcomed positive progress in diplomatic ties, trade, and transit facilitation. They reaffirmed their commitment to advancing cooperation in commerce, connectivity, security, and shared interests.
India’s divisive policy stands discredited as Pakistan and Afghanistan move forward through constructive diplomacy, turning the vision of a peaceful and interconnected region—under China’s leadership—into a growing reality. The trilateral consensus sends a powerful message that stands in stark contrast to India’s negative campaigns.
While India continues to pursue regional destabilisation through espionage and misinformation, Pakistan and Afghanistan, in collaboration with a reliable developmental partner like China, are laying the foundations for peace, economic collaboration, and regional interdependence.
Furthermore, an informal trilateral meeting was held in Beijing between Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, and their Chinese counterpart, during which it was agreed to extend CPEC into Afghanistan.
According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, the three sides also reached a consensus to jointly combat terrorism in the region.
The spokesperson added that the foreign ministers expressed their commitment to enhancing cooperation for regional security and economic connectivity and agreed to deepen collaboration under the Belt and Road Initiative.
