Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday said “tensions between India and Pakistan” were among the list of hotspot issues “mediated” by China this year. ADVERTISEMENT“This year, local wars and cross-border conflicts flared up more often than at any time since the end of WWII. Geopolitical turbulence continued to spread”, Wang said, speaking at the Symposium on the International Situation and China’s Foreign Relations in Beijing. On the diplomatic front, China, on May 7, called on India and Pakistan to exercise restraint even while expressing regret over India’s airstrikes. “China finds India’s military operation early this morning regrettable”, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement on the first day of Operation Sindoor, reacting to questions on India’s airstrikes and escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.
