Following the rapid takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban fighters, Chunying called on the movement to ensure “a peaceful transition” by "establishing an open, inclusive Islamic government, which would take necessary action to ensure the safety of Afghan citizens."

According to reports, a Taliban delegation met with the Chinese Foreign Affairs Minister and other Chinese diplomats. A nine-member delegation pledged that the "Afghan land will not be used against the security of any country." In exchange, China promised not to interfere in Afghanistan's affairs, but instead help to solve the problems and bring peace. 

China and Afghanistan share a 76-kilometer border with no border crossings. However, Beijing is concerned about the potential use of the border as a platform of assaults by the Uighurs, given that it passes by the Muslim-majority region of Xinjiang.

On Sunday night, the Taliban instructed its fighters to enter Kabul without the use of violence, declaring they expect to be in power soon, vowing to provide safety for all personnel of the former Afghan administration.
