China shows support for Pakistan's territorial integrity
Pakistan's foreign minister has had talks with his Chinese counterpart amid the ongoing tension with India over the disputed Kashmir region.
Ishaq Dar, who is also Pakistan's deputy prime minister, met China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on Tuesday.
The two discussed the escalation of Pakistan-India tensions. China emphasized its support for Pakistan safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The recent conflict was triggered by a terror attack last month in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people. The two countries engaged in several days of tit-for-tat missile and drone strikes.
They agreed a ceasefire earlier this month brokered by the United States, but have repeatedly accused each other of violating the truce.
Pakistan's foreign ministry said in a statement that Dar stressed that the dispute over Kashmir needs to be resolved in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions in order to secure lasting peace in the region.
Beijing said Wang supported efforts to achieve a lasting ceasefire through dialogue.
The two sides also agreed to deepen cooperation in various fields including industry and agriculture under the Belt and Road Initiative.

South Korea's President Lee briefed by Yoon's ministers at 1st Cabinet meeting
South Korea's new President Lee Jae-myung has convened the first Cabinet meeting and has been briefed by ministers over pending issues after he took office on Wednesday. The meeting on Thursday was joined by those from preceding Yoon Suk-yeol administration as the process to choose new ministers is still underway. Lee said he wants to hear from those ministers as they are most aware of issues that government ministries and agencies are facing. He also said that he wants them to listen to his opinions. Also on Thursday, South Korea's National Assembly passed bills to appoint special counsels to investigate Yoon over his failed martial law declaration and allegations about his wife Kim Keon-hee. The former First Lady allegedly accepted a luxury bag. The bills were approved by the assembly before, but vetoed by then President Yoon. The People Power Party, which is now on the opposition side, is accusing the ruling Democratic Party of leading the forcible passage of the legislation. The partisan divisions between the ruling and opposition camps have yet to be narrowed even after the presidential election.
