China Calls Operation Sindoor 'Regrettable', Urges India & Pakistan To Work For Stability

Pakistan's all-weather friend, China, has issued a statement on India's Operation Sindoor, which was a retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. While China condemned the Pahalgam terror attack earlier, it has now called India's reaction "regrettable".

China said: "In response to a media inquiry about the ongoing situation between India and Pakistan, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday that China finds India's military operation early this morning regrettable. We are concerned about the ongoing situation. India and Pakistan are and will always be each other's neighbours. They're both China's neighbours as well. China opposes all forms of terrorism. We urge both sides to act in the larger interest of peace and stability, remain calm, exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that may further complicate the situation."

Earlier, China had said it "resolutely opposes all forms of terrorism" and extended "condolences to the victims, and expresses sincere sympathy to the bereaved families and the injured".
