BEIJING, January 2 (INP): China knows brokering peace will be a gradual process that first involves tackling easier, smaller projects and that process has began. Where other mediators have failed, China offers a chance of success, reports South China Morning Post. China would seem well placed to break the logjam in relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Chinese, Afghan and Pakistani foreign ministers made that plain during their first meeting hosted by Beijing to mediate an end to hostilities. Having earned the trust of the Taliban, China’s diplomats could also potentially broker peace between the fundamentalist Muslim group and Kabul, ending the Afghan civil war. China’s vision of cooperation and development and new-found confidence on the world stage could be the right formula for conflict resolution. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s shuttle diplomacy got a major step forward, when he met with his Pakistani and Afghan counterparts in Beijing three weeks to implement their common desire, peace and development. June last year, he had traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan to push forward the peace process. His shuttle diplomacy came out with a positive result, as now trilateral talks are going to take place here at the foreign ministers’ level. INP/J/AH/LK
