Yes, as US is pulling out from Afghanistan, it's time for the country to rebuild itself together with PK-CN.
On socio-political stability, experienced PK agencies like ISI will be instrumental (PA, PAF if needed), CN will backup on required assistance/resources e.g. training and equipment provisions to Afghan security forces, mine-clearing teams. I don't think PLA will be involved, but I suppose if ISI/PA feel necessary then CPAP may offer backup (they do have some limited experience in Afghanistan).
On economic development, CN will lead the efforts, PK will backup (with Tajikistan or other SCO states in say railway links). Employment opportunities for the Afghans has already received a boost with the Chinese investment projects by virtue of electricity-generation projects for mining and extractions and a freight railroad passing from western China through Tajikistan and Afghanistan to Pakistan (connected with future CPEC). On mining and extraction projects:
- Touted to be the largest undeveloped copper field in the world, the Aynak copper field situated in the Logar province in central-east Afghanistan became the largest foreign direct investment ($3.5 billion) in the history of Afghanistan.
- The Hajigak project, a two billion-tonne deposit of high-grade iron ore in the central province of Bamiyan. Afghanistan is home to large iron ore deposits stretching across Herat and the Panjsher Valley
- Oil basin in Mazar-e-Sharif. Unexplored Afghan oil reserves now standing at 1,596 million barrels, and natural gas reserves placed at 15,687 trillion cubic feet.
Look forward to a better future of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan!
- Gold reserves in the northern provinces of Badakshan, Takhar and Ghazni.
P.S.: Look forward to the coming SCO meeting, I suppose CPEC, AFPAK and Iran (depends on progress of sanction, a delicate issue) will be all high priority agenda.
If US is pulling out from Afghansitan and some one else is entering will that solve Taliban problems? NO
