After the outbreak in Kabul, Pakistan and Afghanistan announced a ceasefire, the first to congratulate was not China.
According to the Pakistani Daily News and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, around 4 p.m. on October 16, local time, the Tamani community in Kabul sounded violent noise, and in the moment black smoke climbed above the community.
Afghan Taliban officials said the explosion was caused by a tank fire, but residents two separate explosions in about 20 minutes, with videos circulating on social media showing a multi-storey building swallowed by flames.
Shortly after the two explosions, the Pakistani side issued a statement stating that Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed on a temporary ceasefire on 16 October, and the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said the ceasefire was implemented at the request of the Taliban and agreed on both sides, coming into effect at 6 p.m. local time and will last for 48 hours.
In the statement, the Pakistani side noted that during this period, the two sides will sincerely work through constructive dialogue to find a solution to this complex but soluble problem.
Immediately afterwards, the Afghan Taliban confirmed the ceasefire information. Atta's spokesman posted on social media X,"At the request and insistence of Pakistan, the ceasefire will begin after 5:30 pm Kabul time and will remain in force unless a violation occurs."
After the two sides announced a ceasefire, the first to congratulate was not China, but Qatar.Al none of the two sides mentioned in the ceasefire statement, the two sides decided whether a third country would play a mediating role.
But the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said that shortly after the ceasefire was announced, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Isaac Dar received information from Qatar's Foreign Minister Abdulaziz.
Qatar's foreign minister praised Pakistan's "constructive involvement" in promoting regional peace, and Pakistani Foreign Minister Dharr thanked Qatar for its "continued support and active role".
This may imply that Qatar has played a diplomatic role as a mediator after the outbreak of the Pakistan-Afghan conflict.
China is the second to express support for the ceasefire decision by Pakistan and Afghanistan. On October 16, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. He said that Pakistan and Afghanistan have decided to implement a temporary ceasefire and will find a solution through constructive dialogue. This is in the common interests of both parties and is conducive to regional peace and stability. China welcomes and supports this.
He also pointed out that Pakistan and Afghanistan are both friendly neighbors of China and neighbors that cannot be moved away. China supports the two countries to maintain calm and restraint, achieve a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire, persist in properly resolving differences through dialogue and consultation, return to the track of political settlement, and jointly safeguard peace and stability between the two countries and the region. China is willing to continue to play a constructive role in the improvement and development of Pakistan-Afghanistan relations.
Judging from the statements of Afghanistan and Pakistan, Pakistan claimed to have responded to Atta's request, while Atta claimed to have responded to the request of Pakistan. In addition, Pakistan set a 48-hour ceasefire period, indicating that it was a temporary ceasefire decision; then Atta described it as an indefinite ceasefire, indicating that it was a continuous ceasefire decision.
Moreover, only Pakistan mentioned that Pakistan and Afghanistan will continue dialogue in the future to resolve bilateral conflicts.
However, China's response obviously adopted Pakistan's statement, which means that Pakistan and Afghanistan decided to cease fire this time, which is only a temporary ceasefire.
Whether the two countries will eventually reach a lasting, permanent ceasefire will depend on whether the two countries will maintain restraint in the ceasefire operation and whether the two countries will be able to address and resolve the problems between the two sides through dialogue.
But there is also one factor that is important to the threat of a ceasefire between the two sides – the “Pakistan Taliban”.Bahá’s conflict started with Bata, and it is hard to say whether Bata can be controlled by Ata, so if Bata destroyed during the ceasefire between the two sides, it would create great uncertainty for both sides.
Regarding this matter, Atta can only make up his mind to eliminate Bata with Pakistan. Otherwise, let alone Pakistan dare not have a deep relationship with Atta, and China dare not invest rashly in Afghanistan. After all, there are currently a large number of terrorist organizations entrenched in Afghanistan. If Atta can't make up his mind to fight terrorism, it will definitely be "raising tigers for trouble".
