World leaders are competing to take credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor. After US President Trump, China has now entered this fight for credit. Although India has right from the beginning denied any such mediation by any third party, Pakistan starts singing praises of any country which forcefully sticks its nose in the ceasefire.
Pakistan came out in support of China on ceasefire
Recently, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi took credit for bringing peace in many tense areas including India-Pakistan and Cambodia-Thailand. India rejected it outright, but Pakistan again stood in support of China. Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said that he supports China’s stand.
Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, ‘China’s leadership was in constant touch with Pakistan. Between May 6 and May 10, and perhaps even before that, China had frequent contacts with the Indian leadership. China’s diplomatic talks helped in reducing tension and bringing peace. I am sure that China’s view about mediation is right.
China’s statement on India-Pakistan ceasefire
Speaking at a symposium on China’s foreign relations, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said: “This year, local hostilities and cross-border conflicts have erupted more frequently than at any other time since the end of World War II. There was geopolitical turmoil. To maintain lasting peace, we have adopted a purposeful approach and focused on addressing both the symptoms and the root causes.
He further said, ‘Adopting this Chinese way of resolving hotspot issues, we mediated in Northern Myanmar, Iranian nuclear issue, tensions between Pakistan and India, issues between Palestine and Israel and the recent spat between Cambodia and Thailand.’
India’s response to China’s claim
Rejecting China’s claim, India bluntly said that no third party was involved in the ceasefire decision. India said that the ceasefire with Pakistan was agreed upon after talks between the DGMOs of the two countries.
