Pakistan and China Strengthen Ties for Regional Peace Amid India Tensions
Pakistan Strengthens Ties with China Amid Regional Tensions
In a recent conversation, Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar spoke with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, providing an update on the current regional situation. The call emphasized Pakistan’s stance against India’s recent actions, which Dar labeled as unilateral and illegal.
During the discussion, Dar expressed gratitude for China’s unwavering support, reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to its enduring friendship and partnership with China. He highlighted the intention to bolster bilateral cooperation across various sectors, reflecting a mutual desire to enhance ties.
Both leaders reiterated their dedication to promoting respect and understanding, aiming to maintain peace and stability in the region. Dar’s remarks came in light of escalating tensions, particularly following the controversial Pahalgam incident, emphasizing Pakistan’s proactive foreign policy strategy.
In a separate engagement at a ceremony in Lahore hosted by the Old Ravian Association, Dar criticized India’s recent announcement to terminate the Indus Waters Treaty, describing it as an "irresponsible act." He underscored that such a treaty cannot be unilaterally suspended or amended without mutual consent, reiterating Pakistan’s readiness to respond to any actions that threaten their interests.
As regional dynamics evolve, Pakistan seems committed to collaborating with China to navigate these challenges, aiming for a stable and cooperative environment in South Asia.
