On late Saturday night, explosions were heard in many areas as Pakistan violated ceasefire just hours after agreement with India.
Shehbaz Sharif has thanked its “very dear, very trustworthy and very dear friend China”. He said, “I have to mention them from the bottom of my heart, I want to say a big thanks to them.” He also thanks the Chinese public, “who have always … been there when Pakistan needed them”. This is the first such address by the Pakistan PM amid the ongoing crisis scenario between the two neighbouring countries.
In his address he also thanked USA President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and UAE for their support.
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday said that his country would continue to stand by Pakistan in upholding its “sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national independence”. The Chinese foreign minister made these comments during a telephonic conversation with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, according to a statement by the Foreign Office. “He reaffirmed that China, as Pakistan’s All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partner and iron-clad friend, will continue to stand firmly by Pakistan in upholding its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national independence,” the Foreign Office said.
India and Pakistan agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire, President Donald Trump announced on Saturday, claiming that it was a result of the US-mediated talks. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio termed it a US-brokered ceasefire while commending Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif on “their wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace”. The ceasefire came hours after India and Pakistan attacked each other’s military facilities, dangerously escalating the ongoing conflict.
