China supports travel ban exemptions for Taliban leaders of Afghanistan

Kabul: China hopes that the UN Security Council will extend the travel ban exemption for the Taliban leaders of Afghanistan.

Talking to reporters at the Security Council Media Stakeout, the Chinese Ambassador at the UNSC, Zhang Jun, was quoted as saying by Tolo News that the humanitarian situation is critical in Afghanistan. 

“We cannot say that we want the Afghanistan government to do something but meanwhile we don’t give them any chance to have access to the international community. We cut off their linkage with other countries, so that is not reasonable, I said,” the Chinese envoy Zhang Jun said. 

The Taliban rulers of Afghanistan said imposing pressure and restrictions on Afghanistan is not a solution. 

“The time to impose restrictions is passed—it had no result. Over the past 20 years, the restrictions extended even to bombardments. It was negotiations and engagement that changed the situation and saved Afghanistan and released the Americans from major fighting. The door for negotiations from our side is still open and they should not use a heavy hand,” Taliban government spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid was quoted as saying by Tolo News.

The Taliban captured Afghanistan and took control of the country last year.
