At the last trilateral meeting on May 21, the three nations reaffirmed their commitment to working together. They agreed that diplomacy and practical cooperation are vital for shared growth. The leaders emphasized the importance of trade and infrastructure to drive prosperity. They also pledged to improve communication and diplomatic engagement. This partnership continues to evolve through mutual interest and shared regional goals.
The three countries also discussed deepening cooperation under China’s Belt and Road Initiative. They plan to extend the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan. This expansion could open new trade routes and development opportunities. All sides believe CPEC’s extension will strengthen regional connectivity. The talks in Kabul mark another step forward in this strategic cooperation.
