Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Afghan counterpart Amir Khan Muttaqi in a phone call that disputes between Afghanistan and Pakistan should be resolved through dialogue and consultation, not force, the foreign ministry said on Friday.Wang urged both sides to remain calm and exercise restraint, hold face-to-face talks as soon as possible, seek an immediate ceasefire and address differences through dialogue, according to the statement. The further use of force would only complicate the situation and intensify tensions, Wang said.The ministry’s statement came after Pakistan on Friday bombed the fuel depot of private airline Kam Air near Afghanistan’s Kandahar airport, stepping up the neighbours’ worst conflict in years, despite China’s efforts to mediate. Wang and Muttaqi also exchanged views on the situation in Iran, the statement said.Meanwhile, at least four persons were injured after they were hit by the debris of the Afghan Taliban drones that were destroyed before reaching their targets, thePakistan army said on Saturday. — Agencies
