Sat May 10 05:22:25 UTC 2025: ## China Urges India and Pakistan to De-escalate Tensions After Drone Attacks
**New Delhi, May 10, 2025** – Amidst escalating tensions between India and Pakistan following a series of cross-border attacks, China has issued a strong call for both nations to exercise restraint and pursue peaceful resolutions. The Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed deep concern over the recent escalation, urging both sides to prioritize peace and stability in the region.
The statement follows a fresh wave of Pakistani drone attacks targeting multiple locations across India, from Jammu and Kashmir to Gujarat, on Friday night. While the Indian Defence Ministry reported successfully thwarting attempts to hit vital installations, the attacks followed Indian precision strikes targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) earlier this week in response to an April 22 attack in Pahalgam.
China’s appeal emphasizes the importance of de-escalation for the fundamental interests of both India and Pakistan, and for regional stability. The statement concluded by reiterating China’s willingness to play a constructive role in facilitating a peaceful resolution.
