China Advances Diplomatic Talks to Address Pakistan-Afghanistan Border Tensions
China has intensified diplomatic efforts to ease tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan by promoting a renewed Urumqi peace process. China's Special Envoy for Afghanistan, Yue Xiaoyong, recently held high-level talks in Islamabad with Pakistani officials, including Ambassador Asif Durrani, to arrange a second round of China-mediated discussions in Urumqi. The initiative aims to establish structured security cooperation and address shared counter-terrorism concerns, particularly regarding Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, to prevent further border escalation.
