UNITED NATIONS (Dunya News) – Chinese envoy to the United Nations Zhang Jun on Friday said that members of the United Nations generally feel that Kashmir issue should be resolved in accordance to the UN resolutions.

He asserted that China is making effort to settle down the matter in a peaceful manner. He went on to say that the whole world knows that their State Councilor Wang Yi met the Foreign Ministers of both the countries.

On the other hand, Chinese envoy asserted that India has challenged the sovereignty of the China and violated the bilateral agreement on humanitarian peace and stability in the border area. “China is very serious and won’t change the sovereignty and administration over the territory”, he added.
