China condemns Pahalgam Terrorist Attack; Calls on regional countries to enhance counter terrorism cooperation

China has condemned the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and has called on regional countries to enhance counter terrorism cooperation to safeguard regional security.
 
In a reaction to the US designating The Resistance Front, a proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), as a foreign terrorist organisation for its involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said, the country opposes all forms of terrorism. Twenty-six people were killed in the Pahalgam attack. The TRF claimed responsibility for the attack, but later backtracked as tensions soared between India and Pakistan.
       
Several Pakistani terrorist groups and individuals are listed under the UN Security Council’s 1267 sanctions regime, which imposes asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes. These include LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Jamaat-ud-Dawa, along with key figures like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar.
