11 to 1, China and India and Pakistan and other countries united against the US front, jointly opposed to the deployment of military facilities in Afghanistan, China and Russia even if, why did India and Pakistan also reach a consensus on the death counterpart?
On October 7, local time, the seventh meeting of the "Moscow Model" consultation on Afghanistan was held in Russia, and participating countries include China, Russia, India, Pakistan and 11 other countries. All countries have reached a consensus that "it is unacceptable for any country to deploy military infrastructure in Afghanistan", which is inconsistent with regional peace and stability!The 11 countries attending the meeting also stressed that they support Afghanistan to become an independent and peaceful country, and that some “nations with the primary responsibility for the current difficult situation in Afghanistan” should effectively fulfill their “obligations to Afghanistan’s economic recovery and future development”.
Last month, Trump asked the Afghan Taliban to hand over a military base and allow U.S. troops to move in. He also threatened to face "serious consequences" if he disagreed, and his words sounded like fighting if he disagreed.The statement of 11 countries, including China and Russia, first firmly criticized the idea that Trump tried to take back the military bases, expressed a joint opposition to the US military entry into Afghanistan, showed the position of supporting Afghanistan to safeguard its sovereignty.At the same time, 11 countries demanded that the United States bear the responsibility, which is to say to oppose the US army, demanded that Trump and his wishes to send troops into the country, rather than think about how to forgive the United States, think about how to rebuild this country destroyed by the US military.
Having said that, there is an interesting issue worth discussing, That is why India and Pakistan, the bitter enemies, reached a consensus on the Afghanistan issue this time? Especially since these two countries maintain good relations with the United States, why do the Islamabad and New Delhi authorities not hesitate to offend Washington but also obstruct the arrival of U.S. troops?Let's talk about the ins and outs of the problem from the perspectives of India and Pakistan respectively.
First of all, let's talk about India. The Indian government once accepted the US troops to be stationed in Afghanistan, because the New Delhi authorities once believed that the US troops could maintain peace and stability in Afghanistan. But India is gradually seeing that the U.S. is not capable of stabilizing the situation in Afghanistan, and the presence of U.S. troops will only keep the region in turmoil, which in turn will keep instability around India.Therefore, the New Delhi authorities would rather engage with the Afghan Taliban themselves than let the United States return to Afghanistan to disrupt the situation.
As for Pakistan, Pakistan’s strategy for Afghanistan is more ambitious. From the perspective of Pakistan, India and Afghanistan have surrounded the border of Pakistan from both sides. If Afghanistan can become their friend, it can effectively improve Pakistan's security situation.The Pashtuns are large ethnic groups in both Pakistan and Afghanistan, which gives Pakistan a stronger confidence to develop special relations with Afghanistan. In Pakistan's view, the United States is an obstacle to Pakistan's influence in Afghanistan, and Pakistan prefers to develop a special partnership with the Taliban.
In the end, India and Pakistan are both opposed to the return of the United States to Afghanistan, although there are considerations of respect for the territorial sovereignty and integrity of Afghanistan, but more importantly, for geopolitical purposes, India and Pakistan want to weaken each other's influence in Afghanistan. As for China and other countries, it is not necessary to say, whether China, Russia or Iran, do not want the United States to gain a military standing in the Central Asian region, threatening its own security from behind, so China and Russia must firmly oppose the United States to enter Afghanistan. Trump's plan to return U.S. troops to Afghanistan is not only difficult in its own right, but also faces joint opposition from many countries. No matter how you look at it, Trump's goal of returning U.S. troops to Afghanistan is out of reach.
