Chinese envoy Jiang Zaidong on Thursday told Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif that maintaining peace and stability in South Asia was important.
According to details, Chinese envoy Jiang Zaidong called on PM Shehbaz in Islamabad. On this occasion, the Chinese ambassador assured Pakistan of support over Pahalgam attack.
PM Shehbaz expressed his gratitude to China for extending its unwavering support to Pakistan and calling for an impartial probe into the Pahalgam attack. Acknowledging the sacrifices made by the people of Pakistan, the premier said: “Pakistan has sacrificed over 90,000 lives as the frontline state.”
The premier deplored the Indian act of using the water issue as a weapon to commit atrocities. “The purpose of Indian atrocities is to divert attention from Pakistan’s achievements and efforts to end the menace of terrorism,” PM Shehbaz said.
“India resorted to such tactics to sabotage the anti-terrorism efforts against banned outfits such as the TTP and BLA. None of the parties have a right to suspend the agreement unilaterally under the Indus Waters Treaty,” said the premier.
The premier has called for addressing the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in a peaceful manner to achieve sustainable peace in South Asia.
