It seems that the cousin country Pakistan is resorting to provocative actions again. Steps are being taken to portray the Kashmir issue as an international issue once again. This matter became clear with the recent trip to China. But India is furious over this issue.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is currently visiting China. As part of the visit, he had a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. But on this occasion Sharif once again raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. In the joint statement issued after the meeting of the two, it was also mentioned that the issue of Jammu and Kashmir was discussed.
According to the statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, the latest developments on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir have been explained to the representatives of Pakistan and China. Responding to this, China stated that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is a “historic issue” and said that it needs to be resolved peacefully according to the United Nations Charter, Security Council resolutions and bilateral agreements.
It is noteworthy that the wording used in the joint statement is almost identical to the China-Pakistan joint statement issued in 2024. Still, the two countries called for a resolution of Jammu and Kashmir as a “dispute left in history” in accordance with the United Nations Charter.
But India strongly denied these comments. Earlier, the Ministry of External Affairs of India responded that the Union Territories of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral part of India. India asserted that “no other country has the right to comment on this issue”. India has also objected to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects. In particular, India has accused Pakistan of carrying out some projects in Indian territory under the illegal occupation of India. While Pakistan is constantly making efforts to mention the Kashmir issue on international platforms, India has repeatedly made it clear that this is entirely an internal matter of India.
