New Delhi: China supports India on combating terrorism and a discussion to declare Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar a "global terrorist" is in progress, Chinese Ambassador to India Luo Zhaohui said on Friday.
"The discussion is going on. I am so happy to see your Foreign Secretary in Beijing two days ago... discussing everything... so, just wait," Luo Zhaohui said while talking to media persons on the sidelines of a Chinese Visa Application Service Centre inauguration ceremony in Delhi.
"China supports India and other countries on terrorism... The discussions are going on. It takes time," Luo Zhaohui said.
China blocked a proposal by the US to add Azhar to the list of such terrorists, in addition to the three previous rejections in 2016 to the Indian proposal.
Speaking further on bilateral issues, Luo Zhaohui said: "Don't focus only on this issue. This is important but more important is bilateral cooperation."
On the other controversial issue about Chinese opposition to India's entry into the Nuclear Suppliers' Group (NSG), he said: "It is the same."
On the recently-concluded talks on Afghanistan in Russia, Luo Zhaohui said Afghanistan is China's neighbour and is crucial for peace and stability in Central Asia.
