Afghanistan, along with China and Pakistan, is trying to keep India away from regional influence. It seems that Afghanistan, while maintaining a fake friendship with India, is trying to gain recognition from China and Pakistan. This situation is posing a threat to regional peace.

On May 1, Afghanistan held a meeting with Pakistan and China in Kabul. Now the three countries are going to meet again in Beijing on May 20. In the meeting held on May 10, China and Pakistan had asked to keep India away from Afghanistan. Afghanistan is pretending to be friends with India, but is openly meeting with China and Pakistan.

Afghanistan is trying to get official recognition of the Taliban regime from China and Pakistan. If it gets recognition from both the countries, it will be a big victory for it in Asia. That is why it is engaged in building relations with these two countries along with India. But the Taliban's country and region being close to them will not be good for peace.
