Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar suddenly exerted pressure on us! According to the Hindustan Times report on June 10, during his visit to Belgium and France, Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar stated that given the close relationship between China and Pakistan, China cannot adopt "ambiguous or double standards" in combating terrorism, as terrorism is a problem affecting all countries. The two countries have had a close relationship for decades. However, on issues like terrorism, there can be no ambiguity or double standards.
Jaishankar said that both India and China are rising rapidly, and seeking balance is a complex process. We have unresolved boundary disputes in the Himalayas, which makes this region a key parameter of our national security. Since both countries possess significant influence in the Indo-Pacific region, this issue is not just a bilateral one. Clearly, the Indian foreign minister has suddenly turned his focus on us.
However, it is wrong for the Indian foreign minister to claim that we cannot adopt "ambiguous or double standards" in combating terrorism. Leaving other issues aside, after terrorist attacks in India, we have clearly stated our firm opposition to all acts of terrorism. Therefore, in combating terrorism, we are unwavering. The fact that the Indian foreign minister has targeted us is not because of the issue of terrorism, but rather due to India's psychological imbalance regarding the relationship between China and Pakistan.
Because, after the escalation of the India-Pakistan conflict, we clearly expressed support for Pakistan in defending its sovereignty and security interests. However, India should also be clear about one thing: when India upgraded its actions against Pakistan under the pretext of combating terrorism, even G7 countries did not express clear support. The Indian foreign minister once again mentioned the territorial disputes between China and India, but this is not a wise move. In fact, placing territorial disputes in the appropriate position is in line with India's interests. We believe that after China's capabilities are proven, India will choose restraint.
