BEIJING: Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson on Monday hoped that both Pakistan and Afghanistan would properly address the border issue and jointly uphold peace and stability.
Responding to a question regarding
unprovoked firing by Afghan forces on security personnel deployed for
the security of population census team in Chaman area, Geng Shuang
remarked during his regular press briefing here, “the Chinese side had
noted the relevant report.”
“As a close neighbor to both Pakistan
and Afghanistan, the Chinese side hopes that the two sides will properly
address the relevant issue,” he added.
The spokesperson also hoped that the two countries would jointly uphold the peace and stability in the region.
Afghan Border Forces opened unprovoked
fire on Pakistani officials when they were conducting population census
in a village near Pak-Afghan border in Chaman area of Balochistan on
last Friday.
The unprovoked firing from Afghan side
not only led to the loss of precious lives but had also disrupted census
in areas on the Pakistan side of the border and caused damaged to
properties.
