Interim Taliban government has put 'end to anarchy' in Afghanistan: China

Terming the formation of an interim Taliban government a 'necessary step', China said on Wednesday that this move will put an 'end to anarchy' in Afghanistan.

China on Wednesday said the new interim administration announced by the Taliban has put an end to "anarchy" in Afghanistan, terming it as a "necessary step" to restore order, even as it reiterated its stand that the Afghan militant group should form a broad-based political structure and follow moderate and prudent domestic and foreign policies. The Taliban on Tuesday unveiled a hardline interim government led by Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund, with key roles being shared by high-profile members of the insurgent group, including a specially designated global terrorist of the dreaded Haqqani Network as the interior minister.
