Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a phone conversation on Sunday (27) with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.
Dar briefed Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on the latest tensions between Pakistan and India following a terrorist attack in the Kashmir region.
Dar emphasized that Pakistan has consistently and firmly fought against terrorism and opposes any actions that could escalate the situation. He affirmed Pakistan’s commitment to managing the situation responsibly and maintaining communication with China and the international community.
For his part, Wang said China is closely following developments, stressing that combating terrorism is a shared global responsibility. He reaffirmed China’s consistent support for Pakistan’s firm counterterrorism efforts.
Wang stated that as an ironclad friend and an all-weather strategic cooperative partner, China fully understands Pakistan’s legitimate security concerns and supports its efforts to safeguard sovereignty and security.
He further emphasized that China advocates for a swift and fair investigation, noting that conflict serves neither the fundamental interests of India nor Pakistan, and undermines regional peace and stability.
China hopes both sides will exercise restraint, engage in dialogue, and work together to de-escalate the situation, Wang added.
