China Follows Pakistan; Skips Meet On Afghanistan Hosted By India
The Chinese government decided not to attend the National Security Agency level meet on Afghanistan on November 9, due to scheduling issues. However, It wants to engage India bilaterally on Afghanistan. The event is first ever organized by India, on the terrorism and security-related issues emerging from the Talibani captured Afghanistan. As Pakistan already rejected India's invitation, reports suggest that China's response may be due to its Pakistan sensitivities.
