"Liu listened to Pakistani envoys' briefings on the Kashmir condition and Pakistan's standpoint on related issues, and emphasized that China has been concerned about the Kashmir condition and attaches importance to Pakistan's standpoint on related issues," a foreign ministry statement said.

Liu asked India and Pakistan to set up a bilateral communication system and resolve their disputes through dialogue.

"Liu expressed China's expectations that Pakistan and India would intensify bilateral communications, appropriately manage differences, improve the bilateral relations and maintain regional peace and stability by joint efforts," the statement added.

China's foreign ministry has said that Beijing is in touch with both nations over the issue. "As for the tension between Pakistan and India, recently the Chinese side has been in communication with both sides through different channel," China's foreign ministry spokesperson Gen Shaung said on Thursday. 

A recent terrorist attack on an Indian military base in Uri sparked a fresh diplomatic row between New Delhi and Islamabad. India has accused the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed of organizing the assault that left 18 Indian military personnel dead. Pakistan, on the other hand, has denied any involvement in the attack saying that New Delhi is trying to tarnish its image globally.
