Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 10th. On May 10, 2025, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, spoke with India's national security adviser Doval on the phone.
Doval said that the Pahargam terrorist attack caused serious casualties in India and India needed to take counter-terrorism actions. War is not the choice of India and it is not in the interests of either side. India and Pakistan will be committed to a ceasefire and look forward to restoring regional peace and stability as soon as possible.
Wang Yi said that China condemns the Pahargam terrorist attacks and opposes all forms of terrorism. The current international situation is intertwined, and peace and stability in Asia are hard-won and worth cherishing. India and Pakistan are neighbors that cannot be moved away, and are both neighbors of China. China appreciates your statement that war is not India's choice, and sincerely hopes that India and Pakistan will remain calm and restrained, and handle differences through dialogue and consultation to avoid escalation of the situation. China supports and looks forward to India and Pakistan achieving a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire through consultations. This is in line with the fundamental interests of India and Pakistan and the common aspiration of the international community.
