China on Wednesday called on India and Pakistan to communicate more and properly handle their differences for regional peace, stability and security.

An army base in Indian-controlled Kashmir was attacked Sunday, and 18 soldiers were killed and 30 others injured. India has blamed Pakistan for supporting the terror attack, while Pakistan has rejected the accusation as "baseless."

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said he was concerned about the recent violence in Kashmir and the tension between India and Pakistan.

India and Pakistan are important countries in the region, Lu said, adding that China hopes they will show restraint and avoid action that may escalate the tension.

Stressing that China opposes terrorism in any form, Lu called for more international communication to deal with the threat of terrorism and to maintain security. Endit
