Q: Recently, tensions between India and Pakistan have continued to escalate. Pakistan said that in the early morning of May 10, India launched a strike against Pakistan's Nurhan Air Force Base and other facilities, and Pakistan will resolutely fight back. At present, Pakistan has launched the "Copper Wall and Iron Wall" military operation. What is China’s comment on this?
A: China is closely monitoring the current situation in India and Pakistan and is deeply concerned about the escalation of the situation. We strongly call on both India and Pakistan to put the overall situation of peace and stability first, maintain calmness and restraint, return to the track of a peaceful political settlement, and avoid taking actions to further escalate tensions. This is in line with the fundamental interests of India and Pakistan, is conducive to regional peace and stability, and is also a general expectation of the international community. China is willing to continue to play a constructive role in this regard.
