"Prioritise Peace, Stability": China's Message To India, Pak After Operation Sindoor

By our Special Correspondent

India on Wednesday launched "Operation Sindoor", hitting terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack. Reacting to the development, China has expressed concern and urged both sides to show restraint in response to a major escalation between its nuclear-armed neighbours.

A close ally of Pakistan, China shares land borders with both countries. Beijing expressed its "regret over India's military action this morning" and said it was "concerned about the current developments".
