China announced in January 2015 that it has been mediating between the Afghan government and the Taliban as the United States withdraws troops to end its 13-year war there.

China said it supports the Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace and reconciliation process and stands ready to play a constructive role.

The United States began to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan and China has become more active diplomatically trying to stabilize the war-torn nation, which shares a short mountainous border with China.

China had for the first time hosted the fourth Foreign Ministerial Conference of the Istanbul Process on Afghanistan in Beijing to facilitate peace and stability there, with the presence of new Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.

Ghani expressed his hope for a greater role by China in his country's peace, stability and development.
