KABUL, April 7 (Reuters) - Afghanistan said on Tuesday that useful discussions have taken place in the northwestern Chinese city of Urumqi to resolve its conflict with Pakistan.

China, which shares its western border with ​both countries, has been mediating to help end the worst conflict between the allies-turned-foes since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.
