All the discussions on Afghanistan between Russia, China, Iran and India

The article by Giuseppe Gagliano

In Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, a confidential meeting was held between the main leaders of Russian, Indian, Iranian, Chinese, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Kazakh and Uzbek espionage. This meeting was coordinated by the secretary of the Russian security council Nikolai Patrushev.

What was the main theme addressed during this meeting? The instability of Afghanistan.

Russia, in particular, underlined how the current commitment in Ukraine has forced it to use troops from military infrastructures present both in Tajikistan and in Kyrgyzstan. We are referring specifically to military units under the control of Colonel Yevgeny Kovylin.

The Caucasus is also making a very important contribution in this direction as it is supplying troops to Russia.

THE RUSSIA-IRAN TALKS

During this meeting, of particular significance were the talks between the secretary of the Russian security council and his Iranian counterpart Ali Shamkhani. Both for the Ukrainian question, but above all for the Taliban presence in Afghanistan.

This conversation also served to strengthen the position of Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who intends to transform India into a true regional intelligence hub for Afghanistan as Pakistan openly supports the Taliban regime.

THE RUSSIA-CHINA ENCOUNTER

Another extremely significant meeting was that between the Russian security adviser and his Chinese counterpart Cheng Guoping. Who, on behalf of the Chinese government, stressed that China is very worried about the growing Taliban penetration in Afghanistan because this could compromise the New Silk Road.
