China has allegedly blocked a draft to discuss the global crisis due to coronavirus pandemic at the UNSC. The Covid 19 was first reported in Wuhan province which then led to the worldwide outbreak. More than 19,500 people have been reported dead and over 400,000 positive cases of coronavirus have been reported across the globe.

Posters have been placed outside the United Nations Human Rights Council office demanding a strict action against Pakistan for allegedly abetting terrorism. The posters have been placed by the Pakistan minorities.

The latest statement from China comes ahead of Xi Jinping's visit to India, which is expected from October 11 to 13. Wang Yi had said: "It (Kashmir issue) should be properly and peacefully resolved based on the UN charter, relevant UN Security Council resolutions and bilateral agreement."

In yet another embarrassment for Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, their lawyer Khawar Qureshi at the International Court of Justice admitted that there is no significant evidence to back its claims of genocide in Kashmir.

“Spoke to my two good friends, Prime Minister Modi of India, and Prime Minister Khan of Pakistan, regarding Trade, Strategic Partnerships and, most importantly, for India and Pakistan to work towards reducing tensions in Kashmir. A tough situation, but good conversations!” Trump tweeted.

The statement from White House came amid severe tension between India and Pakistan, which got fuelled after PM Narendra Modi's government decided to scrap Article 370 of the Indian constitution, that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The matter got so sensitive that it went to the UNSC for a closed-door meeting on Friday.

India on Friday re-affirmed that the country's position on matters related to Kashmir is "entirely an internal matter". The statement came after a closed-door meeting at the UNSC to discuss New Delhi's move to end the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

UN Security Council President Joanna Wronecka on Thursday refused to make any comment on Pakistan`s letter to the world body regarding abrogation of Article 370 by India that granted a special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

Chinese ambassador Luo Zhaohui on Sunday assured that despite the fact China did not support call to tag Masood Azhar as global terrorist at the UNSC, the matter will be "resolved". Beijing had said its technical block was meant to buy time so the matter could be discussed and a considered step could be taken.

With Germany being the latest to support India's bid, the proposal to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist was moved by France, the United States and the United Kingdom on February 27.
