What may China and other countries do at the Moscow meeting on Afghanistan?

International meetings over Afghanistan are coming thick and fast. After last week's G20 summit and before India's planned conference next month, Russia is hosting its own.
On October 8, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian acknowledged the Russian invitation and that China was open to international efforts to achieve international consensus over Afghanistan and find ways to ensure peace and stability in the country.
If China does participate, it is likely to build on the recent meetings and statements made by its Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Wang met with several representatives of the Taliban and made clear China's opposition to any terrorist groups basing themselves in and operating out of Afghanistan, especially those which might adversely affect Chinese national security.
