IAF strikes: China ditches Pakistan, advocates peace
BEIJING: Following India’s strikes on terror camps in Balakot, China on Tuesday sent out a clear signal that it would try to restrain New Delhi and Islamabad from aggravating the conflict instead of standing by its ally, Pakistan.
Chinese foreign ministry said that sound and peaceful relationship between India and Pakistan is essential to maintain peace and stability in the region.
Beijing clearly wants to make sure that the upcoming meeting of Russia, India and China (RIC), which will be attended by external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and foreign ministers of Russia and China, is not disrupted.
The Chinese foreign ministry also advised India to seek international cooperation to resolve the problem of terrorism.
