    Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Saturday said Pakistan, China and Afghanistan will have to collectively foil the designs of enemies of peace in the region.

    Speaking at the trilateral dialogue in Kabul, the foreign minister stressed the need for bolstering regional cooperation in diverse sectors.

    Reaffirming commitment to eradication of terrorism, the foreign minister said, "Better border management between Pakistan and Afghanistan and intelligence sharing will be greatly beneficial for both the countries."

    "Pakistan will continue to play facilitative role on Afghan reconciliation process," he added. "We will do everything to support the growing momentum towards reconciliation provided others play their due role and share responsibility and create an enabling environment towards that end," the foreign minister further said.

    Qureshi continued, "Pakistan has always supported dialogue process for peaceful resolution of Afghan conflict and our stance has now also been vindicated by the international community. "

    Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in his remarks said that his country desires to make the Afghan reconciliation process successful. "We will play our role to reduce trust deficit between Pakistan and Afghanistan," Yi said and added that his country also wants to further strengthen relations with Afghanistan and desires to make it part of CPEC.

    "We support an Afghan led and Afghan owned peace process," the Chinese foreign minister said.

    The second round of Pakistan-Afghanistan-China trilateral dialogue is being held in Kabul today to discuss peace as well as economic and counter-terrorism cooperation.

    Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who is leading the Pakistani delegation at the dialogue, is accompanied by Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua and other senior officials of the Foreign Office.

    The three foreign ministers will also meet Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.

    Further, during his day-long visit, the foreign minister will hold bilateral dialogue with his Chinese counterpart.
