00:00Precisely in this context, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning expressed concern
00:05about the resumption of conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan and also urged an end to the
00:10escalation of aggressions and establishment of dialogue. China is closely monitoring the
00:16situation. Pakistan and Afghanistan are and will always be neighbors, and both are neighbors of
00:21China. As a neighboring and friendly country, China is deeply concerned about the escalation
00:26of the conflict and saddened by the casualties. The intensity of this round of conflict between
00:31Pakistan and Afghanistan exceeds that of previous ones, and its continuation or escalation will cause
00:37damage and loss to both sides. China supports the fight against terrorism in all its forms,
00:42and calls on both sides to remain calm and exercise moderation, resolve their differences through
00:47dialogue and negotiation, achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible, and avoid further bloodshed.
00:53In addition, Mao Ning indicated that the Chinese government has asked Pakistan and Afghanistan
00:58to guarantee the security of the Asian giants' institutions within each territory.
01:05The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese embassies in Pakistan and Afghanistan
01:09are working with the relevant parties in both countries on this matter. China has also requested
01:15that both countries ensure the safety of Chinese personnel, projects, and institutions in Pakistan and
01:20Afghanistan. We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide necessary assistance to Chinese
01:26citizens in need.
