China on Wednesday announced that Vice Foreign Minister Kong Xuanyou is in Islamabad to discuss the Indo-Pak tensions following the Pulwama terror attack, as it called for the creation of an "enabling atmosphere" for its close ally Pakistan to cooperate with "other parties".
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said Vice Foreign Minister Kong's Islamabad visit is "designed for communication with Pakistan for the situation concerning both India and Pakistan."
When asked about the main thrust of Kong's visit and whether he would discuss more counter terrorism efforts with Pakistan, Lu said, "In fact, Pakistan has been making efforts and exercised policies to combat terrorism. We think we should encourage this."
Responding to a question whether Kong would visit India too, Lu said, "China is in contact with India and Pakistan concerning the current circumstances."
To a question whether China would support the resolution or abstain, Lu said, "like we said on many occasions the UNSC and affiliated bodies, it is a very serious issue for them to list the terrorists. China will have discussions with relevant bodies."
