Taliban delegation led by Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar holds talks with Chinese FM Wang Yi

A Taliban delegation led by Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar held talks in China with foreign minister Wang Yi on Wednesday against the backdrop of growing concerns in Beijing over the activities of the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM). This is the first time a senior Taliban leader has visited China since the group launched a massive offensive to capture territory across Afghanistan, coinciding with the rapid drawdown of US and NATO forces.
