<p><a href="/en/afganistan/kabul" class="glossify-link">KABUL</a> soon, the country’s envoy in Kabul said Sunday.</p>
<p>Liu Jingson was speaking at a meeting here, where a number of political parties’ members and civil <a href="/en/society" class="glossify-link">society</a> activists were in presence.</p>
<p>Jingson said his country wanted to pave the ground for extension of railways through northern Afghanistan’s provinces.</p>
<p>He said Urumqi, a commercial town of China, would be soon connected through road and railways with northern region of Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Business affairs started through a railroad between Afghanistan and China a year ago, but the process stopped soon after one or two cargo exchanges.</p>
<p>The commercial exchanges through the railway from China and central Asian countries started via northern Balkh province, but suspended soon for an indefinite time.</p>
<p>Chinese envoy to Afghanistan, Liu Jingson, said some central Asian countries did not want imports from Afghanistan into China.</p>
<p>However, he did not name any country and neither provided more details about the issue.</p>
<p>On the other hand, he said China was ready to support the Afghan peace process.</p>
<p>Jingson said they would continue their efforts at ensuring a stable peace in Afghanistan. He promised to offer educational scholarships to Afghan students and journalists in future.</p>
<p>“China currently offers one-month visa but we have the plan to extend this period to several months,” he concluded.</p>
