China Steps In: Let's Talk, Not Fight

Sun Mar 15 2026
China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, had a chat with his Afghan counterpart, Amir Khan Muttaqi, over the phone. He suggested that Afghanistan and Pakistan should sort out their issues by talking, not fighting. Wang advised both sides to stay calm and meet face-to-face soon to stop the fighting and talk things out. Wang warned that using more force would only make things worse and increase tension. This call happened after Pakistan bombed a fuel depot near Kandahar airport in Afghanistan, making things really tense between the two neighbors. China had been trying to help calm things down.
During the call, they also discussed what's happening in Iran. Wang mentioned that China is ready to work with others, including Afghanistan, to help bring peace to Iran. It's interesting to see China taking a role in this situation. They're pushing for peace talks and warning against more violence. It's a reminder that talking can be more effective than fighting.
