BEIJING: China has taken note of the Pakistan’s willingness to cooperate with India for investigating the Pulwama’s incident.

According to the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Geng Shuang, China has been closely following the development of this recent attack in the Indian-held Kashmir.

“In yesterday’s Security Council’s press statement about the incident, a specific organization was mentioned, but it was a general statement rather than a judgment.

The Chinese side has noted that the Pakistani government expressed its will to coordinate with India in the investigation and seek to resolve differences through dialogue.

Parties concerned should conduct objective and unbiased investigation to find out the truth. China hopes that India and Pakistan can exercise restraint, engage in dialogues”.

China has also urged earlier both India and Pakistan to exercise restraint in escalating tension in their bilateral ties.

Commenting growing tension between Pakistan and India in recent days, Geng Shuang said at a regular news briefing that “Pakistan and India are both important countries in South Asia.

“A stable Pakistan-India relationship is crucial to regional peace, stability and development.

“At present, the situation in South Asia is generally stable, which is hard-won and should be cherished and upheld by relevant parties.

“China hopes that Pakistan and India can exercise restraint, engage in dialogues and realize an early “soft landing” of this issue,” he added.—INP
