China will send a special envoy to Tokyo to attend the
International Conference on Reconstruction Assistance to
Afghanistan scheduled for 21 and 22 January, Foreign Ministry
spokesman Sun Yuxi announced at a regular press conference in
Beijing Tuesday.
Sun said this shows that the Chinese government gives high priority
to the post-war reconstruction of Afghanistan.
Wang Xuexian, in charge of the Afghan issues from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, will attend the Tokyo meeting which opens this
month.
China supports all plans to help Afghanistan in its reconstruction
work, and will make its utmost effort to participate in the work,
said Sun.
