Five permanent members were notified of the incident, but India left China and France out! On May 7th, India suddenly launched missiles and aircraft to attack Kashmir and Pakistan's mainland. The news shocked countries around the world. After the incident occurred, India informed relevant situations to countries such as the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. However, what was very surprising was that India did not notify France and China this time.
According to international conventions, if a major event occurs, the parties involved should notify the United Nations and the five permanent members, which is a way to gain support from the five permanent members and reduce resistance or avoid condemnation from the international community. This time, India's failure to notify France and China was indeed very strange. Of course, some analysts said that India might not notify France because it had accumulated a lot of anger towards France.
In this conflict, the Indian military lost at least two Rafale fighter jets. Relevant information shows that in 2016, India purchased 36 Rafale fighter jets for a total price of 7.8 billion euros, with each fighter jet costing as high as $24 million. However, during its first military appearance, the Rafale fighter jets suffered a major setback. Analysts stated that India would probably need to have a serious discussion with France about this matter.
India's failure to notify us is indeed hard to justify. We are one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and have significant discourse power on regional issues. Moreover, we are India's largest neighboring country. It is highly likely that India considers us as a competitor in its bones. Also, due to our relationship with Pakistan, India does not trust us. Therefore, they deliberately ignored us. Of course, this is India's choice. We believe that if the situation between India and Pakistan gets out of control and affects our interests, we will not stand idly by.
