BEIJING: China supports all Pakistani political forces to maintain national stability and development, the China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman said on Monday.

Liu Weimin made the remarks at a regular press release, commenting on the recent political instability in Pakistan, Xinhua reported.

"As Pakistan’s friendly neighbor, China supports all Pakistani political forces to maintain unity and harmony, from the overall situation of social stability and economic development," Liu said.

China has consistently adhered to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs of other countries, he added.
