Ishaq Dar, the foreign minister of pakistan, called his Chinese colleague in an attempt to rally beijing against what Islamabad referred to as "India's unilateral and illegal actions" as tensions with india escalate. In addition to beijing, Dar spent the day speaking with regional counterparts, including british Foreign Secretary David Lammy, on the changing circumstances.
 
Dar called China's Foreign minister Wang Yi to brief him on the situation, according to reports from Pakistan's local media. According to a statement released by Dar's office, the two leaders "opposed unilateralism and hegemonic policies". The statement stated that Dar "categorically rejected India's unilateral and illegal actions, as well as its baseless propaganda against Pakistan".

The contact was made at Pakistan's request, according to Chinese state media Global Times, which also backed the swift start of an unbiased probe. The report also expressed the hope that both parties would use caution.
 
"Combating terrorism constitutes a shared responsibility of all nations, and china consistently supports Pakistan's firm counter-terrorism actions," beijing stated in a carefully worded statement.
 
Following Wang, Dar also called Lammy, who "emphasized the significance of settling the matter and lowering tensions via communication and nonviolent methods."  

The foreign minister of pakistan also made touch with Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.  In a conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, prime minister Shehbaz Sharif said he would applaud Tehran's attempts to foster harmony between Islamabad and New Delhi.
 
The New York Times said that prime minister Narendra Modi had contacted more than a dozen international leaders, prompting pakistan to issue panic calls.  They have also summoned diplomats from 100 missions in New delhi for briefings. The report also noted that india is not enlisting the aid of the international community to defuse tensions with Pakistan.

"Instead, according to four diplomatic officials aware of the discussions, New delhi appears to be building a case for military action against its neighbor and archenemy," according to the report.
