China on Wednesday said it finds India’s military operation against terrorists in Pakistan “regrettable" while calling for restraint from both countries.
A spokesperson from China’s foreign ministry said Beijing opposes all forms of terrorism.
“China finds India’s military operation early this morning regrettable. We are concerned about the ongoing situation. India and Pakistan are and will always be each other’s neighbours. They’re both China’s neighbours as well. China opposes all forms of terrorism. We urge both sides to act in the larger interest of peace and stability, remain calm, exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that may further complicate the situation," the spokesperson said.
Chinese Envoy Meets Pakistan Foreign Minister After Indian Strike
Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong met Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, who said that Pakistan is resolved to protect its “territorial integrity at all costs".
“He underscored Pakistan’s firm resolve to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs. The two sides exchanged views on regional security developments and agreed to maintain close coordination and communication across all relevant areas," a statement said.
India launched strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in what is seen as a retaliatory move to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack.
Since the Pahalgam terrorist attack, China, Pakistan’s “ironclad ally", while condemning it, has called for restraint, besides a fair and swift investigation into the attack. The two countries also stepped up diplomatic contacts during the past few days.
While Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar called China’s top diplomat Wang Yi over the phone and briefed him on April 27. Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Jiang Zaidong met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari.
In his talks with Dar, Wang while stating that China is closely following the developments stressing that combating terrorism is a shared responsibility of the whole world said China supports an impartial investigation as soon as possible, as the conflict does not serve the fundamental interests of either India or Pakistan, nor does it contribute to regional peace and stability.
“As an ironclad friend and an all-weather strategic cooperative partner, China fully understands Pakistan’s legitimate security concerns and supports Pakistan in safeguarding its sovereignty and security interests", Wang said.
