Pakistan, India revive diplomatic contact after Kashmir escalation

NEW DELHI - India said on Thursday it was “disappointed” by China again delaying a bid to blacklist the leader of a Pakistan-based militant group that claimed a massive suicide bombing in Kashmir last month.

China on Wednesday put on hold a request by Britain, France and the United States to add the leader of the JeM, Masood Azhar, on a UN sanctions blacklist which would subject him to a global travel ban, an assets freeze and an arms embargo. China has blocked three previous attempts at the committee on sanctions against Al-Qaeda and ISIS-linked groups to blacklist the JeM leader.China’s decision was the top news across Indian media on Thursday, with the Indian Express headlining its report:"Jaish chief gets Great Wall of China".

Regional rivals China and India have longstanding territorial disputes, but Mr Modi and Mr Xi have tried to patch up ties, banking on their personal chemistry to smoothen differences.
