Experts commend CPEC expansion to Afghanistan

Extending the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan is a significant step toward building a future based on connectivity, stability and shared prosperity, experts say.

The foreign ministers of China, Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed at a recent meeting to deepen Belt and Road cooperation, promote the CPEC's extension into Afghanistan and enhance regional connectivity infrastructure development.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi chaired the informal meeting on May 21, which was attended by Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar and Afghanistan's Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.
