Islamabad: Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan, Chiang Kai-shek, on Monday called on President Asif Ali Zardari at the Presidential Palace. According to the report, issues of bilateral importance, the current situation between Pakistan and India after the Pahalgam incident were discussed in the meeting between President Asif Zardari and the Chinese Ambassador.
According to an official announcement , the President expressed concern over the recent irresponsible and aggressive statements of the Indian government and said that India’s actions are threatening regional peace and stability. The Chinese Ambassador reiterated the enduring and tested friendship between China and Pakistan and said that the two countries are ‘iron brothers’.
The Chinese Ambassador thanked the President for sharing Pakistan’s perspective with China and said that China will always support Pakistan in achieving the common aspiration of both countries for peace and stability in South Asia.
President Asif Zardari appreciated the continuous support of the Chinese government for standing by Pakistan in difficult times. It should be noted that after the attack on local tourists in Pahalgam, India started a series of unjustified accusations and provocations, suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan and instructing diplomatic staff to leave India by April 30, 2025. Apart from this, the Modi government has taken several aggressive decisions regarding Pakistan, including canceling the visas of Pakistanis. Pakistan’s National Security Committee adopted the best diplomatic strategy while taking countermeasures, and India’s diplomatic staff was also limited to 30 people. The National Security Committee had made it clear that water is Pakistan’s lifeline, and if water is stopped, Pakistan will consider it a war. Tensions between the two nuclear powers in South Asia have caused concern around the world.
The European Union, China, the United States, UN chief Antonio Guterres, and the Gulf Cooperation Council have urged both countries to reduce tensions.
