Beijing urges proper resolution of Kashmir dispute

China is gravely concerned by the escalating tensions in Kashmir and believes there should be no unilateral actions that complicate the situation, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Beijing on Friday.

Wang spoke when meeting Pakistani Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who made an emergency trip to China and informed Wang of Pakistan's position on developments in Kashmir and measures it has taken.

The Kashmir issue is a dispute left over from colonial history, and should be solved peacefully and properly according to the United Nations Charter, UN Security Council resolutions and bilateral agreements between Pakistan and India, Wang said.
