In a phone conversation with Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized China's continued support for Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Wang stressed the importance of finding a diplomatic solution and fostering a long-lasting ceasefire between Pakistan and India.

India and Pakistan agreed to an immediate ceasefire on Saturday, unexpectedly halting the worst fighting in decades between the nuclear-armed neighbors, just when their tit-for-tat strikes appeared to be spiraling out of control.
