Development Assistance and Economic Cooperation of the People’s Republic of China with Afghanistan
Abstract
The aim of the article is to present and assess the development assistance provided by the Government of the People’s Republic of China to Afghanistan and the economic cooperation between these states. It presents the motives, circumstances and prospects of these activities. This article has two main theses. Firstly, the development assistance provided by the PRC Government to Afghanistan is very limited. This is mainly due to the fact that the Beijing authorities do not want to support the actions of the United States-led international coalition in Afghanistan. Secondly, also the economic cooperation between states is limited, which is primarily a consequence of the fragile security situation in the country. Derogations from this rule are relatively high investments of Chinese companies in the Afghan mining sector.
