Pakistan army chief rejects Indian allegation of Chinese help in May conflict
Indian army's deputy chief Lieutenant General Rahul Singh said last week that China gave Islamabad 'live inputs' on key Indian positions.
The 'insinuations regarding external support' are 'irresponsible and factually incorrect,' Munir said in an address to graduating officers of the national security and war course in Islamabad, according to an army statement.
Pakistani officials have previously dismissed allegations of receiving active support from China in the conflict.
Beijing and Islamabad have longstanding close relations, with billions of dollars of Chinese investment in the South Asian nation's energy and infrastructure.
India's relationship with China meanwhile was strained after a 2020 border clash that sparked a four-year military standoff, but tensions began to ease after the countries reached a pact to step back in October.
India and Pakistan used missiles, drones and artillery fire during the four days of fighting in May - their worst in decades - triggered by an attack in April on tourists in Indian Kashmir that New Delhi blamed on Islamabad, before agreeing to a ceasefire.
Pakistan has denied involvement in the attack in April.

US withdrawal from UNESCO not behavior of ‘responsible country': China
China said it regretted on Wednesday the United States' decision to withdraw from the UN cultural and education agency UNESCO. 'This is not the action that a responsible major country should take,' foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said. 'China has always firmly supported the work of UNESCO,' he added. The United States said on Tuesday it would quit UNESCO, best known for establishing world heritage sites, claiming it was biased against Israel and promoted 'divisive' causes. US President Donald Trump also ordered the country's withdrawal from UNESCO in 2017 during his first term. President Joe Biden later reestablished membership. This latest withdrawal will take effect in December 2026. Since taking office, Trump has indicated he would pull the United States out of several multilateral institutions -- including the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement -- and has launched punishing trade tariffs against allies and foes alike. China, meanwhile, has sought to promote itself as a responsible major power by expressing support for the United Nations and other international bodies. 'This is already the third time that the US has withdrawn from UNESCO, and it has long been in arrears with its membership fees,' Guo told reporters Wednesday. 'We call on all countries to reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism and take concrete actions to support the international system with the UN at its core,' he said.

India to resume issuing tourist visas to Chinese citizens
HONG KONG: India will resume issuing tourist visas to Chinese citizens from July 24 this year, its embassy in China said on Wednesday, the first time in five years as both countries move to repair their rocky relationship. Tensions between the two countries escalated following a 2020 military clash along their disputed Himalayan border. In response, India imposed restrictions on Chinese investments, banned hundreds of popular Chinese apps and cut passenger routes. China suspended visas to Indian citizens and other foreigners around the same time due to the COVID-19 pandemic but lifted those restrictions in 2022, when it resumed issuing visas for students and business travelers. Tourist visas for Indian nationals remained restricted until March this year, when both countries agreed to resume direct air service. Relations have gradually improved, with several high-level meetings taking place last year, including talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Russia in October. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that Beijing had noted the positive move. 'China is ready to maintain communication and consultation with India and constantly improve the level of personal exchanges between the two countries,' he said. India and China share a 3,800 km (2,400-mile) border that has been disputed since the 1950s. The two countries fought a brief but brutal border war in 1962 and negotiations to settle the dispute have made slow progress. In July, India's foreign minister told his Chinese counterpart that both countries must resolve border friction, pull back troops and avoid 'restrictive trade measures' to normalize their relationship.

Balochistan says provincial action plan against separatists ready amid spike in violence
ISLAMABAD: Amid a renewed wave of separatist violence in Balochistan, Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti said Wednesday a provincial action plan for peace had been formulated, as he warned of the evolving and asymmetric nature of the security threat facing the province. The statement came during the 16th National Workshop on Balochistan in Quetta, where Bugti addressed senior civil and military participants. His remarks followed a recent spike in attacks by ethnic Baloch insurgents, who have escalated their decades-long campaign by launching coordinated strikes on security forces, government officials and non-local workers. The unrest continues despite repeated crackdowns and military operations, complicating stability efforts in a province critical to the multibillion-dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). 'A provincial action plan for peace in Balochistan has been formed,' Bugti was quoted in an official statement circulated after the event. 'Our response mechanisms have been strengthened, and terrorists cannot hold even an inch of ground permanently.' While acknowledging that the province has long suffered from misgovernance and uneven development, Bugti rejected that unemployment and underdevelopment alone were driving unrest. 'Those who fight the state do so not because of jobs or education but because they dream of a separate state based on Baloch identity,' he continued. 'This is an intelligence-driven drone war against Pakistan.' He added that the insurgents were attempting to push the Baloch people into an unwinnable conflict. 'The Baloch nation is being dragged into a futile war,' he said, warning that acts of violence, whether in the name of nationalism or religion, would be treated the same. 'We will embrace those disillusioned with the state and address their grievances, but those who kill innocents and want to break the country cannot be engaged outside the constitution,' he added. The chief minister described the provincial security landscape as increasingly opaque, saying Pakistani forces were operating in 'grey zones' where it was difficult 'to distinguish between friend and foe.' On the issue of enforced disappearances, a deeply contentious point in Balochistan's political discourse, Bugti said that comprehensive legislation had already been passed. Families of missing persons and human rights groups accuse state institutions of arbitrary detentions and extrajudicial killings in Balochistan. Pakistani authorities have frequently rejected these claims, calling them 'baseless allegations.' Reiterating that the fight against separatist violence is not just the state's burden but 'a war that concerns every Pakistani,' Bugti said the state would remain firm against any attempt to destabilize the province.
