Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong has said that apart from India, Pakistan is also a victim of terrorism.

 

Speaking at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit 2025 event organised by the Chintan Research Foundation (CRF) at the India International Centre on Thursday in New Delhi, he said, “In fact, terrorism is the enemy of the global world … So not only China and India but in fact Pakistan are also victims of terrorism.”

 

The Ambassador stressed the need for a joint effort to fight against terrorists, emphasizing that the “most important thing is how to root out terrorism”.

 

Pakistan remained a principal victim of terrorism, as it has sacrificed thousands of lives while combating it. The fact was also echoed by the Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Ishaq Dar during his press conference in Lahore earlier this week.

 

He stated that the country has fought the global war of terrorism on the front foot and sacrificed 90,000 lives besides suffering colossal losses of $192 billion to its economy in the war on terrorism.

 

The deputy prime minister stressed that the world had to recognize the huge sacrifices Pakistan had made.

 

The most recent major terrorist incidents include the horrific Jaffar Express attack in Balochistan in April this year, which claimed dozens of civilian lives, and the May 21 bombing of a school bus in Khuzdar that tragically killed eight children and two adults.

 

 

Earlier, in July, during an interview with Al Jazeera, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that India supports terrorist activities in the country aimed at destabilising Pakistan’s security, particularly in Balochistan.
