New Delhi: Describing Pakistan as a "victim" of terrorism, China said on Tuesday that it will continue to support Pakistan in the fight against terror even as it called for greater counter-terrorism cooperation with India, including at the international level.
China also took on the United States, saying that it does not agree with interference of countries outside the South China Sea region in the ongoing dispute with its neighbouring countries.
"Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism. In the past few years, Pakistan has been fighting terrorism with a lot of casualties," Rear Admiral Guan Youfei, Director General, Foreign Affairs Office in China's Ministry of National Defence, said in New Delhi.
Rear Admiral Guan said that Pakistan has in the recent past started a military operation to fight terrorism with "positive achievements".
He added that the Chinese position on terrorism is that there should not be any "double standards". "This is something we need to look into," he said without explaining who he was referring to.
