Official Spokesperson’s response to media queries on China-Pakistan Joint Statement

November 03, 2022

In response to media queries on China-Pakistan Joint Statement, the Official Spokesperson, Shri Arindam Bagchi said:

"We have noted that the "Joint Statement” released following the recent visit of the Prime Minister of Pakistan to China contains several unwarranted references to the Indian Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. It also mentions projects under the so-called China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and its extension to third countries.

We have consistently rejected such statements and all parties concerned are well aware of our clear position on these matters. The Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir and the Union Territory of Ladakh are and always will be integral and inalienable parts of India. No other country has locus standi to comment on the same.

As regards the so-called China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, we have consistently conveyed our protest and our concerns to China and Pakistan. CPEC includes projects on the sovereign territory of India under forcible and illegal external occupation. We resolutely reject any attempts to utilize such projects to change the status quo in this area. Any attempts to involve third parties in such activities are inherently illegal, illegitimate and unacceptable and will be treated as such by us."
