BEIJING, May 7 (Xinhua) — China urges India and Pakistan to maintain calm and restraint and refrain from actions that could further complicate the situation, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Wednesday.
Asked to comment on the military strikes carried out by India early on Wednesday on targets in Pakistan, which triggered a strong response from Pakistan, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said China regrets India’s military action and is concerned about the current developments.
India and Pakistan are and will always be each other’s neighbours, and they are both neighbours of China, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said, noting that China opposes all forms of terrorism.
“We urge India and Pakistan to prioritize peace and stability, maintain composure and restraint, and avoid actions that will further complicate the situation,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
