China has expressed its commitment to maintaining close communication with both Pakistan and Iran to help “bridge their differences” after the two nations conducted airstrikes against each other. The Chinese Foreign Ministry’s statement comes in the midst of reported visits by Foreign Minister Sun Weidong to Pakistan on a mediation mission.
