Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval held a phone conversation with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on May 10, 2025, amidst escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. The discussion focused on the recent ceasefire agreement between the two neighboring countries, with Doval emphasizing that war is not India's choice and serves no party's interests.

Wang Yi expressed China's support for the ceasefire and its willingness to play a constructive role in maintaining peace and stability in the region. He urged both India and Pakistan to remain calm, handle differences through dialogue, and avoid escalating the situation.

The ceasefire was announced on May 10, following intense cross-border drone and missile strikes, and is intended to be comprehensive and lasting. Both nations have committed to stopping all military actions on land, air, and sea with immediate effect.

The conversation also touched upon the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22, which China condemned, reaffirming its stance against all forms of terrorism. Doval highlighted the necessity for India to take counter-terrorism actions in response to the attack, which resulted in 26 lives lost. India's military response on May 7 targeted 9 terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), killing over 100 terrorists. Pakistan attempted retaliatory strikes on 15 Indian cities, which were thwarted by India's air defense system.

Wang Yi also spoke with Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, expressing China's concern about the conflict and its support for Pakistan's efforts against terrorism.
