On August 20, 2025 local time, the Sixth China-Afghanistan-Pakistan Trilateral Foreign Ministers' Dialogue was held in Kabul, Afghanistan. Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Afghan Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi, and Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar attended the dialogue.

Wang Yi said that since the trilateral foreign ministers' dialogue mechanism was resumed in Tunxi, Anhui Province in 2022, the three sides, based on the principles of mutual respect, equal-footed consultation and mutual benefit, have continuously advanced cooperation in the fields of politics, development and security, safeguarded regional peace and tranquility, and responded to various risks and challenges. The world today has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. President Xi Jinping has put forward the important vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative. These important international public goods have provided significant guidance for the three countries in jointly building a better homeland and laying a solid foundation for security.

Wang Yi said that China is ready to work with Afghanistan and Pakistan to deepen good-neighborliness and mutual trust, render mutual understanding and support on issues concerning each other's core interests, and firmly oppose interference by any external forces in the region, as well as any organization or individual engaging in acts within their countries that undermine the national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of the other sides. The three sides should further step up exchanges at all levels and continue to consolidate strategic mutual trust. China supports Afghanistan and Pakistan in improving their bilateral relations, deepening the convergence of interests, and properly handling differences through dialogue and consultation, to promote the steady and long-term development of trilateral cooperation among China, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

Wang Yi pointed out that China and Pakistan have been at the forefront of the international community and regional neighbors in helping Afghanistan restabilize and rebuild the country and expand its foreign exchanges. China will continue to uphold justice for Afghanistan on multilateral occasions, encourage the international community to engage with Afghanistan in a constructive manner, and support Afghanistan in advancing the normalization of its diplomatic relations.

Wang Yi said that the three sides should expand development cooperation, increase trade and investment exchanges, strengthen the building of connectivity networks, and enhance people-to-people bonds. The three sides should improve the security dialogue mechanism, deepen law enforcement and security cooperation, intensify efforts to combat transnational terrorist activities, and eradicate the breeding ground of terrorism by addressing both symptoms and root causes on the basis of consensus. It is important to uphold the principle of indivisible security, respect each other's legitimate security concerns, and blaze a path of cooperative and common security.

Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi and Mohammad Ishaq Dar spoke highly of the positive progress achieved by the trilateral foreign ministers' dialogue mechanism and appreciated China's contributions to promoting trilateral cooperation. Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi welcomed the attendance of the Chinese and Pakistani foreign ministers at the dialogue and thanked China and Pakistan for their steadfast support for Afghanistan on the international stage. He said that given the profound changes in the current international and regional situation, Afghanistan hopes to take this meeting as an opportunity to deepen friendly relations, strengthen coordination and collaboration, and work for greater development of trilateral cooperation.

Mohammad Ishaq Dar said that Pakistan, China and Afghanistan share close historical, cultural and economic ties, and that trilateral cooperation enjoys great potential. The three sides should jointly advance their partnership, and enhance cooperation in trade, the Belt and Road Initiative, connectivity, counter-terrorism and other areas to achieve common development. As a neighboring country of Afghanistan, Pakistan is willing to make greater contributions to the peace process in Afghanistan and to improving the livelihood of the Afghan people. Pakistan called for the unfreezing of Afghanistan's overseas assets. Based on the principles of equality, mutual trust and shared responsibility, the three sides should work together to combat all forms of terrorist activities, including cross-border terrorist attacks.

The three sides agreed to fully leverage the role of the trilateral foreign ministers' dialogue mechanism, strengthen exchanges and cooperation across various fields, and promote regional peace, stability, development and prosperity.
