In a statement China has strongly reacted to India’s military action against Pakistan, calling it “regrettable” and “extremely worrying.” The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson has said that the current situation is being closely monitored and the parties need to exercise restraint.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that India and Pakistan are not only close neighbours of each other but also neighbours of China. In such a situation, regional peace is a shared responsibility of all. “We consider India’s action this morning regrettable and urge all parties to take measures in the broader interest of peace and stability.”
