BEIJING, China: China on Monday hoped that both Pakistan and Afghanistan would properly address the border issue and jointly uphold peace and stability.
“As a close neighbor to both Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Chinese side hops that the two sides will properly address the relevant issue,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang said during his regular press briefing in Beijing while responding to a question regarding unprovoked firing by Afghan forces on Pakistani security personnel near the Chaman border, causing death and injuries to Pakistani citizens.
The spokesperson also hoped that the two Countries would jointly uphold the peace and stability in the region.
On last Friday, the Afghan Border Forces opened unprovoked fire on Pakistani officials when they were conducting population census in a village near the Pak-Afghan border in Chaman area of Balochistan, killing 13 persons including three women and six children, and leaving nearly 40 others injured.
The unprovoked firing from the Afghan side not only led to the loss of precious lives and injured many but had also disrupted the census in areas on the Pakistan side of the border and caused damaged to properties.
