Pakistan's Defence Minister Acknowledges China's Intelligence Sharing on India

China's Intelligence Support to Pakistan
On Thursday, Khawaja Asif, the Defence Minister of Pakistan, confirmed that China provided intelligence regarding India following Operation Sindoor.
China's Disputes with India
In an interview with a media outlet, Asif explained that nations with friendly relations often exchange intelligence, noting that China shares this information due to its own disputes with India.
Normalcy in Intelligence Sharing
Asif stated, "In today's world, it is quite common for allied countries to share intelligence. If we possess information that could be a threat to us or to China, it is natural to share it." He emphasized that this includes intelligence gathered through various means, including satellites.
The minister also mentioned that Pakistan remains vigilant following the brief conflict with India.
Admission of Support for Terror Groups
Earlier in April, Asif acknowledged Pakistan's historical support for terrorist organizations. In a viral interview clip, he was questioned about Pakistan's long-standing involvement in backing and training these groups.
Asif responded, "For about three decades, we have been doing this dirty work for the United States and the West, including Britain. That was a mistake, and we have faced the consequences. If we had not participated in the war against the Soviet Union and later the post-9/11 conflict, Pakistan's record would have been impeccable."
