    Foreign Minister Wang Yi presided over the 4th China-Afghanistan-Pakistan Trilateral Foreign Ministers' Dialogue in Guiyang, China, on June 3, 2021.

On Thursday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in Kabul a week before Beijing hosts a meeting with Afghanistan's neighbors to examine how energies will be employed to help Kabul post-Taliban takeover. 

"Chinese Foreign Minister arrives in Kabul for talks with Islamic Emirate leaders," tweeted Ahmad Yasir, a senior Taliban official. 

The objective of this meeting, the third of its kind, is to contribute to the achievement of long-term stability in Afghanistan, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on March 2. 

"China will hold the third meeting of foreign ministers of Afghanistan's neighboring countries at the appropriate time to benefit fully from advantages of neighboring countries, highlight their features, and play a positive role in achieving a long-term order and long-term stability in Afghanistan," Wang told his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian during a phone conversation.

From Islamabad, Yi arrived in Kabul after attending a two-day meeting for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
