“The Chinese Ambassador reaffirmed the enduring and time-tested friendship between China and Pakistan, describing the relationship as one of ironclad brothers who have always supported each other in challenging times,’ Radio Pakistan reported.
He thanked President Zardari for sharing Pakistan’s perspective and emphasised that “China would always support Pakistan to achieve the common desire of both countries to secure peace and stability in South Asia.”
On Thursday, the Chinese envoy called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who thanked China for endorsing his offer to conduct a neutral probe into the Pahalgam attack.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday vowed to support India in its fight against terrorism and stated that the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack must be brought to justice.
In a telephonic conversation with PM Modi, Putin condemned the attack as “barbaric” and expressed “full support” to India in the fight against terrorism, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a social media post.
Putin was among the first world leaders to condemn the April 22 terror attack that killed 25 tourists and a local Kashmiri when suspected militants opened fire at tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam.
The United States had earlier expressed its support to India in its “fight against terrorism.”
“As President Donald Trump and Secretary Marco Rubio have made clear, the United States stands with India, strongly condemns all acts of terrorism. We pray for the lives of those lost and for the recovery of the injured and call for the perpetrators of this heinous act to be brought to justice,” State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce had said two days after the attack.
