Putin’s warning to America and NATO
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced in their joint statement that the United States and NATO should refrain from re-establishing military infrastructure in Afghanistan. They also believe that America should take responsibility for Afghanistan’s economic and social problems and support post-war reconstruction.
The leaders of Russia and China expressed their willingness to strengthen interactions with partners related to Afghanistan at the bilateral and multilateral levels to help Afghanistan become an independent, neutral, united and peaceful country.
They also supported the constructive role of “Moscow format” and other regional mechanisms to solve the Afghan crisis. The Moscow format, which started working in 2017, was formed with the aim of helping to advance the process of national reconciliation and peace in Afghanistan, and it is expected to continue its activities in 2024.
