China Backs Probe in India-Pakistan Kashmir Crisis

Following the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 people, China has called for an impartial international investigation and backed Pakistan’s request for a probe involving international experts. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi highlighted China’s support for Pakistan’s security concerns, urged both India and Pakistan to exercise restraint, and reinforced China’s strategic partnership with Pakistan while seeking stable ties with India. India has blamed Pakistan for the attack, suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, and implemented diplomatic and economic measures such as staff expulsions and visa bans, while its National Investigation Agency launched a probe. Pakistan denies involvement, suggests the attack could be a false flag operation, and seeks international participation in the investigation. The US has indicated a hands-off stance, expressing confidence in India’s and Pakistan’s ability to manage the crisis. The situation remains tense with high diplomatic stakes and concerns over regional stability.
