China is Afghanistan's Most Reliable Friend

China is Afghanistan's Most Reliable Friend

China is the most reliable friend of Afghanistan, said Xu Feihong, Chinese ambassador to the war-torn country, just days before Afghan President Hamid Karzai's visit to China.

During his third ever visit to China, according to Xu, Karzai will attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit as a guest for the fifth time, after which he will meet with Chinese leaders and visit several Chinese cities and provinces such as Beijing and Hubei.

"SCO has always seen Afghanistan as an important partner in the region," noted the Chinese ambassador, "We have been engaging in close coordination with Afghanistan in areas like trade, culture and fighting terrorism, secessionism, extremism and narcotics."
