Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, leading a high-level delegation, met with Ambassador Fu Cong, the Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, to discuss the evolving security situation in South Asia, particularly in the wake of India’s recent aggressive actions.
The meeting on Monday focused on Pakistan’s efforts to maintain peace and stability in the region amidst India’s belligerent posture. Bilawal expressed heartfelt gratitude from the people of Pakistan for China’s unwavering support during India’s provocations.
He briefed the Chinese delegation on the developments following the April 22 Pahalgam attack, highlighting Pakistan’s responsible and restrained response in contrast to India’s aggressive actions.
"It is regrettable that India rejected Pakistan’s offer for an independent, impartial, and transparent investigation," Bilawal said.

He reiterated that the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is crucial for lasting peace in South Asia and urged China to play an active role in resolving the issue through multilateral cooperation, in line with United Nations Security Council resolutions.
The delegation also shared details of India’s arbitrary attacks on Pakistani territory, the deliberate targeting of civilians, its involvement in funding and supporting terrorism in Pakistan, and the provocative suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty — a move Bilawal described as the "weaponisation of water" and a clear violation of international law.
Both Pakistan and China agreed that unilateral and aggressive actions pose a serious threat to regional peace and must be firmly opposed.

The Pakistani delegation also held a substantive exchange with ambassadors of the UN Security Council’s elected members (E10).
During the meeting, Bilawal conveyed Pakistan’s principled and responsible stance in the face of India’s escalating provocations. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s abiding commitment to restraint, diplomacy, dialogue, and a rules-based international order.
He further underscored the dangers posed by India’s weaponisation of water in violation of the Indus Waters Treaty, and reiterated the need to resolve the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in line with Security Council resolutions.
"Pakistan unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, and remains a victim of terrorism that is planned and sponsored from beyond its borders. While Pakistan does not seek conflict, it stands fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. South Asia cannot afford another crisis," said Bilawal.
