Abstract
The minerals of Afghanistan are of economic interest to the major powers. This paper analyses China’s growing involvement in Afghanistan and its prospects. It also discusses the trilateral alliance between Afghanistan, China, and Pakistan and its implications for regional and global stakeholders. China can profit from raw material extraction in Afghanistan and the provision of transit routes. Making use of the geographical proximity between the three, there is room for cooperation and dialogue on countering terrorism and resource development. For Pakistan, cordial relations with Afghanistan can be fruitful in energy supply, security provision, connectivity, and ensuring its overall strategic interests.
