China awaits for “a tolerant government” in Afghanistan

BEIJING (TASS): Beijing is ready to establish new di-plomatic relations with Af-ghanistan but only after the situation in the country stabilizes and “a tolerant government” is formed there, Chinese Foreign Mi-nistry Spokesman Zhao said at a briefing on Wednesday.
“It will be possible to talk about whether China will establish new diplomatic relations with Afghanistan only after a tolerant and open government is formed there that would sufficiently represent the country’s interests,” he pointed out.
According to the spokesman, Beijing’s position on Afghan issues “is clear and unequivocal.” “We will wait and recognize the new government after it is formed,” he added.
