Foreign military forces should withdraw in a responsible and orderly manner. Countries in the region should play a more constructive role in stabilizing the situation in Afghanistan.

Third, China and Pakistan reaffirm their firm support for peace and reconstruction in Afghanistan and their readiness to expand economic and trade exchanges with Afghanistan and help the country enhance its capacity for independent development.

Fourth, the three countries should deepen high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, support substantive expansion of cooperation in Afghanistan, and enhance connectivity among the three countries and in the region at large.

Fifth, the three countries should flexibly promote trilateral practical cooperation, carry out more projects to improve people's livelihood, and explore new space for cooperation in such areas as health care and education.

Sixth, the three countries should continue to strengthen cooperation against the COVID-19. China is ready to provide more support for Afghanistan and Pakistan in their fighting and defeating the pandemic.

Seventh, the three countries should strengthen counter-terrorism and security cooperation, oppose "double standards" in fighting terrorism and intensify the fight against the East Turkestan Islamic Movement and other terrorist forces.
