Beijing, China — Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said his country is 'concerned' about the impact of recent policies introduced by Afghanistan's Taliban government on the rights of women, state media reported on Friday. Qin's comments at a regional summit in Samarkand, Uzbekistan come after a decision by the conservative Taliban authorities to bar women from working for the United Nations sparked international outrage. 'China and other friendly neighbours of Afghanistan are concerned about the recent policies and measures taken by the Afghan side and their possible impact on the basic rights and interests of Afghan women,' Qin told reporters on Thursday, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
