On Wednesday, Pakistan briefed Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong about the escalating tensions with India, sparked by recent developments.

In retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, India carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, targeting locations like Bhawalpur, reportedly a Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold. The strikes have added fuel to an already tense situation.

China, while advocating for maximum restraint, expressed willingness to play a constructive role in easing tensions. The Chinese Foreign Ministry urged both sides to act in the interest of regional peace and stability, as ongoing hostility could have dire consequences.
