NEW DELHI: Describing Pakistan as a “victim” of terrorism, China today said it will continue to support the neighbouring country in the fight against terror even as it called for greater counter-terrorism cooperation with India, including at the international level.
China also took on the USA, saying it does not agree with interference of countries outside the South China Sea region in the ongoing dispute with its neighbouring countries.
“Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism. In the past few years, Pakistan has been fighting terrorism with a lot of casualties,” Rear Admiral Guan Youfei, Director General, Foreign Affairs Office in China’s Ministry of National Defence, said here.
He was briefing reporters on the visit here of a 26-member Chinese military delegation headed by General Fan Changlong, Vice-Chairman of China’s powerful Central Military Commission (CMC), which met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, among others.
Guan said that Pakistan has in the recent past started a military operation to fight terrorism with “positive achievements”. (AGENCIES)
