China sees no possibility of Indo-Pak war post Mumbai attacks

Islamabad, Dec 6 (PTI) China sees no possibility of a war
between India and Pakistan in the wake of the tensions
generated by the terror attacks in India's financial capital
Mumbai, the Chinese envoy said here Saturday.

Chinese Ambassador Lou Zhaohui said the two nuclear-armed
countries should carry on their dialogue uninterrupted and
seek the solution of problems through peaceful means instead
of opting for any extreme step.

"China sees no signs of war between India and Pakistan,"
he told reporters on the sidelines of a function.

Lou also appreciated the role played by Pakistan in the
wake of the Mumbai attacks, saying it would go a long way in
achieving peace, while assuring Islamabad of the full support
of the Chinese government and people.

"We have always been helping our brotherly and friendly
country and will continue with the same zeal in future," he
said.

Earlier, China handed over modern flood and tsunami
forecast equipment to the Meteorological Department of
Pakistan at the function.

The equipment will be installed along Pakistan's coastal
belt.

Lou said: "We have multi-dimensional cooperation with
Pakistan in a variety of fields."
