China Follows Pakistan, Refuses to Attend Delhi Security Dialogue on Afghanistan

The Quint  

The People's Republic of China has joined Pakistan in announcing that it shall not attend the Delhi Regional Security Dialogue on Afghanistan on Wednesday, November 10, NDTV reported. "Due to scheduling reasons, it is inconvenient for China to attend the meeting," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said to Chinese media sources in the capital. Other important geopolitical players of the region, that is, Iran, Russia, and the five former Soviet Republics of the central Asia region -Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan - will participate in a high level security conference of national security advisors. India has some serious security concerns about Afghanistan after its takeover by the Taliban in mid-August earlier this year, which is why it is taking efforts to bring together regional stakeholders in order to assess the security situation and discuss future plans.
