New Delhi on Thursday rejected Chinese offer to mediate over the Kashmir issue saying that it doesn't want any third country's intervention in improving India-Pakistan relations, adding that its stand on resolving issues through bilateral framework has not changed. ANI reported.
The remarks came in the backdrop of China's offer saying that it is ready to play a constructive role in improving ties between both the nation, which has been in conflict over the Kashmir issue.
"We are ready to have a dialogue with Pakistan, among other issues, but in a bilateral framework. So the (India's) position of addressing all issues with Pakistan, including the Jammu and Kashmir issue, in a bilateral framework has not changed," he added.
Earlier Beijing stated that the conflict between India and Pakistan is threatening peace and stability in the region.
"Both Pakistan and India are important countries in South Asia. The conflict between the two countries along the Line of Control in Kashmir is neither conducive to their own stability and development nor regional peace and tranquillity," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said during a press conference on Wednesday.
"China hopes relevant parties to do more to help with regional peace and stability and refrain from escalating the tension. China stands ready to play a constructive role to improve the relations between Pakistan and India," he added.
