China attaches great importance to solving the crisis that becomes increasing between its two neighbors that have nuclear weapons – Pakistan and India.
Beijing fears that the military escalation could destabilize the region, and especially fears because both countries border China and share strategic interests.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has repeated a call to restraint and dialogue, emphasizing the need to address bilateral disagreements peacefully, by direct dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Such an attitude comes at the time of increasing tensions between the two countries after the attack in the Indian region of Kashmir 22. April, in which 26 people were killed. India blamed Pakistan for the attack and suspended the application of the River Indead Agreement and expeled Pakistani diplomats. Islamabad responded to the countermeasures and described the escalation as a “deception campaign”.
Deep concern
According to Al Jazeerine Reporters from China Shayme Zhou Yiyi, any possible confrontation between India and Pakistan causes the deep concern of its direct neighbors and both have nuclear capacities, which every conflict is to threat to the security of the entire region.
Shayma explained that the Chinese Foreign Ministry reiterated its position that the dialogue between the two sides was given to constant tensions since the attack in Kashmir and mutual escalation moves after the attack. China emphasized the need for an independent investigation and avoiding one-sided steps to deepen the existing crisis.
According to Al Jazeerine Reporter, Beijing strives to stay in a neutral position between the two sides. It maintains close strategic relations with Islamabad, and at the same time it is aware that the continuation of Tensions with New Delhi could open complex fronts at its eastern borders, especially given the historical dispute due to the border of more than 3,500 kilometers.
In the context of the above, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced a telephone conversation between the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yija and his Pakistani’s Tensation, emphasized the need for any armed conflict in Kashmir and inclusion in direct dialogue to prevent sliding in the wider Conflict.
Complication of regional stability
China considers that military escalation between India and Pakistan is not just a threat to South Asia, but further complicates security estimates at the time when Beijing tries to maintain a balance in their bilateral relations with both capital relations.
Given the sensitive situation, China strives to strengthen its role of the diplomatic intermediary that maintains stability, simultaneously emphasizing the need for mutual respect and avoiding moves that would induce the conflicts that would be difficult to restrain.
While India rejects any intermediary role in his relations with Pakistan, China remains solid in his position – calls for dialogue because he considers himself a military conflict to destabilize the region and cause unpredictable international consequences.
