KABUL – Chinese Vice President, Li Yuanchao, and CEO Abdullah Abdullah held a meeting Tuesday evening in Kabul to discuss bilateral cooperation aimed at further strengthening the historic diplomatic ties between the two nations.

He stated without naming any country that supporting insurgency is not in the interest of any country.

"It is important that all countries recognize the fact that supporting terrorism and extremism will not serve any countries [and] any nations' interests," Abdullah said.

He maintained that the National Unity Government (NUG) is making all efforts to achieve a sustainable peace.

"The unity government is committed to the well-being of our people [and] to making efforts towards stabilization of the country and has sincere commitments for the establishment of durable [and] dignified peace in the country," he noted.

Meanwhile, Li Yuanchao praised the long-historic relations between Kabul and Beijing, which entered its 60th year.

"In the past six decades since the establishment of diplomatic relations in particular in very recent history, our two countries have always shown each other mutual understanding, mutual trust and mutual support," the Chinese VP said.

"We have also established strategic cooperative partnership," Li Yuanchao added, after signing three major cooperation agreements with Afghan government on security, education and reconstruction sectors.

Based on the agreements signed Tuesday, China will build four security gates at the entrances of Kabul city.

Besides providing 1,500 new scholarships for the Afghan students, China will also construct 10,000 residential units for the families of victims of Afghan Army and Police. (Tolonews)
