Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China have announced after their meeting in Beijing that the United States and NATO are responsible for the results of their 20-year invasion in Afghanistan and should not build military infrastructure in that country.

In the joint statement, the two sides emphasized on "strengthening cooperation with partners related to Afghanistan at the bilateral and international levels." According to the presidents, their goal is to help the country become independent, independent, united, peaceful, not associated with terrorism or drugs and which will have a good relationship and harmony with all its neighbors.

The positions of the leaders of China and Russia in relation to Afghanistan show their great concern about the military policies of the United States in that country. Flying American spy planes and drones in Afghanistan, something that has been complained about by the Taliban government in Afghanistan, shows that the United States is still desperate for Afghanistan and is trying in various ways, including increasing terrorism in the country, in order to prepare a field for returning to the military in that country.

However, the concern of China and Russia about the possibility of the return of the American army to Afghanistan is mainly due to the spread of terrorism, illegal trade in human smuggling and the trafficking of drugs and weapons from Afghanistan to the countries of Central Asia to the borders of China. , for the management of the US military in Afghanistan. It is on that basis that the President Vladimir Putin of Russia previously warned about the American conspiracy to create conflicts, including inciting social disturbances through the sale of narcotics in the country.

Akram Arefi, an expert on Afghan affairs, says: "Due to its strategic position in the region, Afghanistan has always been considered and given importance by major powers." Although the United States failed badly in Afghanistan and had to withdraw from that country due to the culture of hating foreign invaders in the country, but due to strategic issues, it is still desperate for that country. The leaders of Russia and China, while emphasizing in their meeting in Beijing on solving the problems faced by the people of Afghanistan and supporting the rehabilitation of the country, have emphasized that Afghanistan is facing many economic and social problems and that the international community should help solve those problems. . The important thing that both sides insist on is the release of Afghan funds held by the United States. The Washington government has blocked approximately ten billion dollars that belong to the people of Afghanistan and has already embezzled part of that money. It is clear that the release of the assets of the Afghan people can solve many of their problems. The release of those funds can greatly help those people who are currently facing severe problems caused by the recent floods and are in need of international aid.

Putin and Xi's statement about the US military policy in Afghanistan comes while the member countries of the Mutual Security Agreement and Russia have been accusing the US of trying to build military infrastructure in Afghanistan. One of the important goals of the United States in Afghanistan is to create violence and disrupt peace in the borders of that country and the countries of Central Asia, including Tajikistan. It is for that reason that Russia, along with strengthening its defense on the border with Tajikistan, increased military and security cooperation between the countries of the Eurasian region.
