Srinagar: China on Friday welcomed Pakistan’s decision to “express kindness” and hand over a captured Indian pilot after four straight days of cross-LoC attacks in Kashmir.
Pakistan said it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot on Wednesday.
A close Pakistani ally, China has blocked India’s attempts to have the UN list as a terrorist the leader of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a Pakistan-based group that claimed responsibility for a deadly suicide bombing on Indian paramilitary earlier in February in south Kashmir’s Pulwama.
