China Claims Mediation in India-Pakistan Conflict; India Firmly Rejects Third-Party Role

• Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi claimed China mediated in the India-Pakistan conflict earlier this year, citing an "objective and just stance."
• Wang Yi stated China played a diplomatic role in resolving "tensions between Pakistan and India," alongside other global issues like Myanmar and Iran.
• India firmly rejected China's claim, asserting no third party, including China, mediated during Operation Sindoor.
• New Delhi maintains the May 7-10 confrontation was resolved bilaterally through direct military talks, without external involvement.
• This marks the second time a major power (after US President Donald Trump) claimed mediation, despite India's consistent stance against third-party intervention.

Why It Matters: China claims mediation in India-Pakistan conflict, but India reiterates its firm stance against third-party intervention.
