Beijing: China on Wednesday said it finds India’s military operation in Pakistan “regrettable” while calling for restraint from both countries.
The statement by China’s Foreign Ministry came as Indian armed forces early Wednesday carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack.
“We are concerned about the ongoing situation. India and Pakistan are and will always be each other’s neighbours. They are both China’s neighbours as well,” the statement said.
“We urge both sides to act in the larger interest of peace and stability, remain calm, exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that may further complicate the situation,” it said.
“China finds India’s military operation early this morning regrettable,” the statement added.
