- Written by TCA
KABUL (TCA) — Ambassador Alice Wells, with the US State Department’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, said in a discussion at the Wilson Center in Washington, DC on November 21 that “China has not been a real player in Afghanistan development” and “is not a provider of any significant grant assistance.” She said that neighboring Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan have done much more to aid Afghanistan with “regional connectivity initiatives” such as cross-border railways, electricity lines and trade exchange, Afghan broadcaster TOLOnews reported.
