Abstract

Following airstrikes against militant groups operating across each other’s borders, Pakistan and Iran have mutually decided to de-escalate the tensions. Considering China made it clear that it was closely watching the developments, it is relevant to ask: If China’s intervention between its two close allies is responsible for this development? If so, what makes China invest in mediation? The paper seeks to examine the imperatives of Beijing’s mediation between Islamabad and Tehran.
