Beijing. China showing softness in its stand said that the issue of Masood Azhar, of the terrorist organization to be declared a global terrorist in the United Nations will be sorted out properly. China has given this assurance one day after meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan with Chinese President Xi Xinfing but there is no timelines for this.
The case will settle properly
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuyang said in a press conference on Tuesday that he can just say that this topic will be sorted out properly. The Chinese Foreign Ministry was answering a report of the media. It has been claimed that China has now agreed to remove ‘Technical Hold’ with a new proposal to declare Masood Azhar as a global terrorist, listed under the United Nations Security Council, France, Britain and the US.
China continues to protest
This time, the United States, Britain and France have pushed China directly through the United Nations Security Council. Despite this, as a permanent member of China UNSC, he can use his veto power. China has been consistently opposed to take this issue to the highest organization of the United Nations.
Emphasis on joint efforts of all parties
Geng answered the questions on Azhar’s issue and said that we have clarified our position several times in connection with the listing of this case under the 1267 Al-Qaeda Ban Committee. We want to emphasize only two points. First, we want to resolve this matter through dialogue and consultation within the 1267 committee. And we believe most members agree with this. Second, the rational consultation is going on inside the committee and there has been some progress in it. Thirdly, we believe that with a joint effort of all parties, this issue will be better resolved.
