With the USZ and Pakistan engaged in a war of words,
China on Friday sprung to the defence of its ‘all-weather ally’, and asked Washington to respect Islamabad’s sovereignty and territorial integrity while fighting its war on terror. On a question about the USZ military Chief Admiral Mike Mullen’s accusations that ISI was supporting the Haqqani network to wage a proxy war in Afghanistan, a spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry defended Pakistan, saying it has been ‘in the forefront of international efforts against terrorism’.
“Pakistan has made important sacrifices in global fight against terrorism. We hope relevant country will respect other countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity”, he said. He, however, said he was not aware of specific allegations of the USZ.
