China again urges Pakistan, India to show restraint, seek dialogue

BEIJING, Feb 27, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – China called on Pakistan and India on
Wednesday to “exercise restraint” and seek dialogue after Islamabad said it
shot down two Indian warplanes in its airspace over disputed Kashmir.

“We hope that both India and Pakistan can exercise restraint, take
initiatives that are conducive to promoting dialogue, meet halfway and make
active efforts for lasting peace and stability in South Asia,” foreign
ministry spokesman Lu Kang said.
