Beijing on Monday called on Islamabad and New Delhi to launch a thorough investigation into the incident of violation of Pakistani airspace and establish a notification mechanism in time to prevent the recurrence of such incidents and miscalculations.
“Pakistan and India both of them are important countries in South Asia and they share the responsibility to uphold the regional security and stability,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said during his regular briefing in repose to a question regarding unprovoked violation of Pakistan’s airspace by India.
“We call on relevant countries to have dialogue and communication as soon as possible and launch a thorough investigation into this incident, strengthen information sharing and establish a notification mechanism in time to prevent the recurrence of such incidents and miscalculations,” he added.
Earlier, a Chinese former defence attache on South Asian countries asked the world community to probe Indian so-called clarification on supersonic projectile crash into Pakistani territory.
