BEIJING, March 17 (Xinhua) — China hopes that both Afghanistan and Pakistan will remain calm and exercise restraint, begin direct talks as soon as possible, and reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Tuesday.
Both countries should resolve differences and disputes through dialogue, a Chinese diplomat said at a regular press briefing, answering questions about the recent conflicts between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Noting that Afghanistan and Pakistan are neighboring countries that cannot be separated, Lin Jian said dialogue and consultation are the only effective way to resolve their problems.
China called on Afghanistan and Pakistan to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens, projects and institutions, Lin Jian said, adding that China intends to continue to play a constructive role in easing the situation and improving relations between the two countries through its own channels. -0-
