Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said the group supports Beijing’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative that aims to link China with Africa, Asia and Europe through a network of ports, railways, roads and industrial parks. #China #Taliban #ZabihullahMujahid Crux is your daily dose of the big, viral and relevant news in a few minutes.
