Beijing to boost anti-terror work with Kabul

China has agreed to strengthen anti-terrorism work with Afghanistan, a war-torn country whose stability is linked to that of western China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the announcement at a news conference with his Afghan counterpart Salahuddin Rabbani on Tuesday.

The development comes shortly after the second meeting of the Quadrilateral Coordination Group on Afghan Peace and Reconciliation was held in Kabul on Jan 18. The group comprises China, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States.
