China and Pakistan have jointly opposed any unilateral actions concerning Kashmir, emphasizing the need to maintain peace and stability in South Asia. The position was outlined in a joint statement issued at the conclusion of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s four-day visit to China. Both countries underscored that unresolved issues, including the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, should be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy.

According to the statement, China views the Jammu and Kashmir dispute as a historical issue that should be settled peacefully in accordance with the UN Charter, relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and bilateral agreements. The two nations reaffirmed their opposition to any unilateral measures that could affect regional stability.

The joint stance comes in the context of India’s earlier decision to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special status, making the renewed alignment between China and Pakistan particularly significant.
