Afghan president to visit China next week
BEIJING
Afghan President Hamid Karzai will visit China for talks next week with President Hu Jintao, Premier Wen Jiabao and other officials on what China calls common issues of regional and global concern.
China made news last year when it made the largest-ever foreign investment in Afghanistan, a $3 billion mine project to tap one of the world's largest unexploited copper reserves.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman says Karzai will visit China from March 23-25. Spokesman Qin Gang said the two countries will discuss all kinds of cooperation and bilateral relations.
It will be Karzai's first visit since 2008, when he attended the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony.
