China on Monday said it will play a constructive role for the realisation of a “lasting ceasefire” between India and Pakistan as Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar arrived here for talks with top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi.
Dar, who arrived here on Monday on a three-day visit, is the first high-level Pakistani official to visit China after India carried out precision strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’ on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.
Dar was expected to discuss a gamut of issues with all-weather ally China, including India’s decision to put the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance. PTI
