Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, and Special Representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadiq, have arrived in Beijing to attend the sixth trilateral meeting with China and the Taliban.
Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban’s Foreign Minister, is due to join the talks on Tuesday morning, 20 May. The meeting, hosted by China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi, will focus on expanding trade and security cooperation among the three parties.
Pakistani media report that the discussions will build on an invitation extended by China’s Special Representative for Afghanistan, Yue Xiaoyong, which the Taliban accepted earlier this month.
Muttaqi, who is currently on an official visit to Tehran, is expected to travel directly to Beijing to participate in the talks.
