Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said China was willing to stay in touch with Afghanistan’s new leadership but also showed that minority rights should be respected.
“We hope that the new Afghan regime, during the interim administration period, will listen to the opinions of all ethnic groups and parties, and respond to the expectations of the Afghan people and the international community,” he said.
“We noticed that the Taliban emphasized that everyone would benefit from the new regime,” he added CNN.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said the Taliban’s actions did not inspire optimism because Germany was assessing how to help the Afghan people amid food shortages, aid cuts and the threat of economic collapse.
