China on Monday urged Afghanistan, Nepal and Pakistan to forge a "four-party cooperation" to overcome the Covid-19 crisis and continue working on projects under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor ( CPEC).
Chairing a virtual meeting with his counterparts from the three countries, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the four states should work together to extend CPEC to Afghanistan.
The video conference, organized by Beijing apparently to discuss the Covid-19 pandemic, was held in the context of the months-long border confrontation between India and China. Given India's currently strained ties to Nepal, the meeting is unlikely to go well with the establishment of foreign policy in New Delhi.
