China has called on India and Pakistan to build on their recent ceasefire progress, emphasizing dialogue as tensions ease in one of Asia’s most volatile regions. 🌏 The appeal follows a rare agreement between the two nations to halt hostilities along their contested border, announced earlier this month.
At a press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian welcomed the May 10 ceasefire agreement, stating it aligns with both countries' long-term interests and 'regional stability.' 💬 "Since tensions began, China has maintained close communication with all parties, urging restraint," he added.
The diplomatic breakthrough came after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke with Pakistan’s Deputy PM Mohammad Ishaq Dar and India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, advocating for a 'comprehensive and lasting' truce. Wang, a senior CPC Central Committee official, stressed the need for political solutions over escalation.
Lin noted that as neighbors to both India and Pakistan, China is ready to play a 'constructive role' in fostering dialogue. 🔄 "The international community shares this expectation for peace," he said, highlighting cross-border collaboration as key to curbing future conflicts.
Analysts see China’s mediation as a strategic move to bolster its role as a regional stabilizer. With global eyes on South Asia, the success of these talks could reshape security dynamics—and young leaders worldwide are tuning in. 📈
