China on Thursday urged India and Pakistan to exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that may "further complicate" the situation, as it asked the two neighbours to act in the "larger interests of peace and stability".
During a media briefing here, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that Beijing is concerned about the current developments.
“We urge both sides to act in the larger interest of peace and stability, observe international law, including the UN Charter, remain calm, exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that may further complicate the situation,” he said without elaborating.
