China’s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday it "regrets" India’s military operation against Pakistan carried out in the early hours of 7 May, locally referred to as Operation Sindoor, and is "concerned about the ongoing situation." In a written statement, a ministry spokesperson urged New Delhi and Islamabad to "remain calm, exercise restraint and put peace and stability first," stressing that the two South Asian rivals are also China’s neighbours. Beijing reiterated its opposition to all forms of terrorism and warned against actions that could further escalate tensions. The appeal follows reports that Indian forces struck targets inside Pakistani territory overnight, raising fears of a wider confrontation between the nuclear-armed states. China called on both sides to avoid moves that might complicate the situation and to engage in dialogue to defuse the latest flare-up.
