China plans to set up an anti-terrorism alliance with Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan to boost its coordination with its neighbours, stabilize the region and prevent it from becoming a domestic militant threat, the state media said on Thursday.
Fang Fenghui, a member of the powerful Central Military Commission, hosted a meeting with his counterparts on Wednesday in Urumqi, the capital of the western Xinjiang region to discuss the challenges they are facing to battle the Islamist militants.

"All parties reaffirmed they will cooperate to respond to these forces, and safeguard all member countries' peace and stability," Xinhua reported.
