China Claims Key Role in Ending India-Pakistan Conflict
(MENAFN) Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi disclosed Tuesday that Beijing served as a mediator during the four-day armed confrontation between India and Pakistan in May, asserting China's expanding influence in regional conflict resolution.
During a symposium labeled 'International Situation and China's Foreign Relations,' Wang outlined Beijing's mediation efforts across multiple global flashpoints, a news agency reported. The revelation positions China as a critical diplomatic player in South Asian security matters.
"To build peace that lasts, we have taken an objective and just stance, and focused on addressing both symptoms and root causes," Wang stated. "Following this Chinese approach to settling hotspot issues, we mediated in northern Myanmar, the Iranian nuclear issue, the tensions between Pakistan and India, the issues between Palestine and Israel, and the recent conflict between Cambodia and Thailand."
The South Asian nuclear powers engaged in military hostilities spanning May 7-10 before reaching a cessation of fighting.
Hours before India and Pakistan publicly announced their ceasefire agreement, Wang conducted a phone call with Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, during which the Chinese diplomat urged both nations to resolve their disputes through "dialogue and consultation."
Wang also connected with Pakistani counterpart Mohammad Ishaq Dar the same day, expressing Beijing's support for an immediate halt to combat operations. "Once a ceasefire is reached, it must be jointly observed to prevent the recurrence of conflict," Wang remarked, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. "This serves the interests of both Pakistan and India, contributes to regional peace and stability, and meets the common expectations of the international community. China is willing to continue playing a positive role in this regard."
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed responsibility for orchestrating the truce between the nuclear-capable adversaries, threatening to curtail trade relations with both countries. New Delhi has rejected Trump's assertions, maintaining that the ceasefire resulted from direct military-level negotiations between the Director General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan.
