‘Pakistan fully supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the People’s Republic of China’

Islamabad: Pakistan has reiterated its support for China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, following Beijing’s reaffirmation of its position on Zangnan, also known as Arunachal Pradesh.
During a weekly press briefing on Friday, Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated that Pakistan “fully supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the People’s Republic of China,” and had noted recent reports regarding China’s stance on the region.
The statement comes amid renewed tensions between India and China over the disputed territory, which Beijing refers to as Zangnan.
Khan also dismissed Indian media reports alleging nuclear radiation linked to recent border tensions as “baseless and unfounded.”
He noted that the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of Pakistan and India had remained in contact since May 10, emphasising the importance of continued dialogue.
Commenting on broader regional developments, Khan criticised what he described as India’s “aggressive posture,” accusing New Delhi of destabilising the regional security environment.
He said Pakistan's military operations, conducted under Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, were a response to cross-border aggression and carried out in self-defence, invoking Article 51 of the UN Charter.
“Our response was in line with our right to self-defence and aimed at preserving national sovereignty,” Khan said.
He welcomed the recent ceasefire agreement between the two sides and urged India to uphold its commitments. “We view this as a positive step and expect India to implement the ceasefire in both letter and spirit,” he added.
