China made a critical difference in the latest India-Pakistan conflict, says Imtiaz Gul, a Pakistani security analyst.

"Pakistan has always wanted third-party mediation in the Kashmir issue in the absence of mutual trust between the two countries," Imtiaz Gul, the executive director of Centre for Research and Security Studies in Islamabad, tells the BBC.

"Now a superpower is willing to stick its neck out. Pakistan will see this as a moral victory," Mr Gul says.

Asadullah Haroon Gul was the first Guantanamo detainee to win a habeas corpus petition in 2021.

Gul believes Bushra Bibi’s role today is only about “keeping the party and its workers active during Imran Khan’s absence”.
