Beijing, Aug 6 (TIWN) China on Tuesday sided with all-weather friend Pakistan in voicing "serious concern" over the Kashmir situation and stressed that Kashmir is "a legacy of history between India and Pakistan".

The United Nations and the United States have asked India and Pakistan to maintain peace after the Narendra Modi government on Monday scrapped Article 370, which granted special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The US said it was "closely" observing the events in Jammu and Kashmir and urged all stakeholders to maintain peace and stability along the Line of Control (LoC).
