China plans to come out of isolation 5/2/2019 11:04:00 PM Beijing starts coming out of isolation when it vetoed the resolution moved by the UN security council against Masood Azhar. This is indicated by China when it said that "some progress" has been achieved on designating Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a "global terrorist" by the UN and hoped that the vexed issue will be "properly resolved" but refused to give any timeline. The comments by the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman came days after President Xi Jinping met Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan here. China put a technical hold in March on a fresh proposal to impose a ban on the head of JeM which claimed responsibility for the deadly Pulwama attack. It was for the fourth time, China blocked Azhar's listing as a "global terrorist" by the UN. Regarding the listing issue in the 1267 Committee, we have expressed our position many times and I just want to stress two points," Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said answering a number of questions on designating Azhar as a global terrorist under the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council. "First, we support the listing issue being settled within the 1267 committee through dialogue and consultation and I believe this is the consensus of most members. Second, the relevant consultations are going on within the committee and has achieved some progress. Third, I believe, with the joint efforts of all parties, this issue can be properly resolved," he said at a media briefing here. "I can only say that I believe that this will be properly resolved," Geng added. He was responding to questions on the media reports that China has reportedly consented to lift its technical hold on a fresh proposal moved by France, the UK and the US to list Azhar under the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee. In fact when China opposed the UN security Council resolution declaring Masood Azhar as a globally terrorist because he was an instrument in organizing the Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were martyred. Further Masood Azhar has been imparting training to groups of militants who are pushed into Kashmir for taking part in the incidents of terror strikes. And Masood Azhar has selected south Kashmir as part of his playfield where terrorists trained by him were active. Since China feels that besides the UN, the US and other super powers have opposed Beijing opposing Masood Azhar's treatment as a globally known terrorist and this way China may make amends but not to the extent that he may irritate Pakistan. The latest turn of events is the result of his meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan who too may be willing to act against Masood Azhar.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
