[KhaamaPress] A top Chinese diplomat has expressed opposition with an abrupt withdrawal of the U.S. forces from Afghanistan and has called on Washington for a responsible withdrawal from the country.Lijian Zhao, deputy Chinese ambassador in Islamabad made the remarks during an interview with GTV News on Sunday, VOA reported. "They [U.S.] have been in Afghanistan for 17 years. If they are leaving the country, they should try to leave in a gradual and a responsible way," Lijan Zhao said. He also emphasized the need for the Taliban ...Arabic for students... and Afghan government to sit together and negotiate a political resolution to a war he said has been going on for nearly 40 years. Only an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned process supported by international partners of Afghanistan could help end the hostilities, Lijian noted. "If a civil war broke out after the U.S. withdrawal, the first countries affected will be Pakistain, will be China, and it will be the immediate neighbors. So, we have to sit together with the parties concerned so that we start a grinding of the peace processor," he said.
