Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi landed in China for an ‘important’ two-day visit to hold a round of talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi. The two neighbouring countries to India aim to hold strategic dialogue on the bilateral infrastructure project China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a $46 billion project launched on April 20, 2015, by the Chinese President Xi Jinping and the then Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif which involves connectivity via rail, road, and air between the deep-sea Pakistani ports of Gwadar and Karachi to China’s Xinjiang province.

There are increasing concerns that Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is facing a resurgence of terrorism infiltrating through the Wakhan corridor, on the Afghanistan border, after the Taliban swept through northeastern Badakhshan province and is drawing closer to the border with China’s Xinjiang.
However, Chinese observers believe it is unlikely that terrorist groups will enter Xinjiang through Wakhan corridor. They are more likely to threaten China through Central Asia countries if the situation in Afghanistan worsens, which further demonstrates that the situation in Afghanistan has a direct bearing on regional stability and needs enhanced international efforts in fixing the situation.
