BEIJING, Feb 27 (Reuters) - China is deeply concerned over escalation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, China's foreign ministry said on Friday, as Pakistani and Afghan forces clashed after the Taliban launched what it called retaliatory strikes on Pakistani installations.
China has been mediating the conflict through it own channels, foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, said during a regular press conference. China is willing to play a constructive role in cooling the situation, she added.
