Pakistan has backed China's claim that Beijing played a role in defusing tension with India during Operation Sindoor, calling it “diplomacy for peace” that was part of international efforts.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said that the leadership of China was in constant touch with the leadership of Pakistan, and “had made certain contacts with the Indian leadership as well in those three-four days from May 6 to 10th and maybe prior to that and after that.”
“So, I think those contacts, characterised by a very positive diplomatic exchange, contributed in bringing down temperatures and bringing peace and security in the region. So, I'm sure that the Chinese characterisation of mediation is correct,” he said on Thursday while replying to a question about Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's claim that India-Pak tensions were among the list of hotspot issues “mediated” by China in 2025.
