The dialogue will take place in Beijing on Tuesday (December 26) in which besides Khawaja Asif, the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the acting Afghan Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani will also participate.

The Foreign Office said that in addition to the trilateral meeting between the foreign ministers of the three Countries, the Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif will also have a bilateral meeting with his host Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
