After Pakistan
\nMoeed Yusuf has already announced that he would not attend the November 10 dialogue
\n Beijing
\nDays after Islamabad announced backing out of India\u2019s NSA moot on Afghanistan, Beijing on Tuesday said it will also not attend the regional security dialogue on Afghan issue to be hosted by New Delhi.
\n\u201cDue to scheduling reasons, it is inconvenient for China to attend the meeting. We have already given our reply to the Indian side,\u201d Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin said during his regular briefing while responding to a question about whether China has declined to attend the dialogue.
\nLast month, India invited Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan, and all the central Asian nations to attend the \u2018Delhi Regional Security Dialogue on Afghanistan\u2019, scheduled to be held on November 10.
\nBeing well-cognisant of India\u2019s true face and negative role in the region particularly in Afghanistan, Pakistan has already declined India\u2019s invitation to be part of the summit.
\n\u201cI will not go… a spoiler can\u2019t be a peacemaker,\u201d Pakistan\u2019s National Security Adviser (NSA) Moeed Yusuf last week said in response to a question by a reporter whether Pakistan will be attending the moot.
\nHaving faced strategic losses in Afghanistan after US withdrawal, India\u2019s plan to host the NSA-level summit is nothing but an attempt to cover up its image of \u201cspoiler\u201d and try to enhance its relevance in the region, experts believe.
\nThe defence and security analysts are of the view that India has always used Afghanistan as a staging ground and a second front against Pakistan.
\nCoupled with the fact that China has also foiled the Indian project in Ladakh by completely outmanoeuvring India through the use of force, analysts in several think tanks were appreciative of Pakistan\u2018s decision of non-participation in the NSA Summit in New Delhi which had dealt a blow to India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
