The Vice Minister of Culture and Tourism of China has pledged it will pursue the registration of Afghanistan's historical sites with the Asian Alliance for Cultural Heritage Conservation (ACHA).

Some cultural experts are urging China to make efforts to register Afghanistan's historical artifacts with UNESCO.

"China is interested in the economic sector in Afghanistan and also in the restoration of a series of historical sites they have seen. Our request is that China register these historical artifacts with UNESCO," said Shir Mohammad Noori, a cultural affairs expert.

"If China takes action to protect ancient sites and historical places according to national and international standards, it will be a positive step," said Mohammad Anwar Faiz, an academic member of the Archaeological Research Center at the Academy of Sciences.
