BEIJING: China backed its"iron friend" Pakistan on Tuesday , applauding its recent counter-terrorism measures as Islamabad faces criticism for harbouring militants.
Islamabad has come under pressure to demonstrate it is sincere about eliminating militancy, but the crackdown has yet to convince the international community."We also call on the international community to adopt a fair perspective of the commitments and efforts made by Pakistan over the years to combat terrorism," Wang said as he stood beside Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
The Feb 14 suicide blast in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops - claimed by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed - ignited the most recent crisis between the nuclear-armed neighbours.It was the fourth time China has blocked such attempts, reinforcing suspicions that it was acting on Pakistan's behest.
"Pakistan appreciates the role China has played once again, standing by Pakistan in these difficult times," Shah said.
