India has expressed strong disapproval of the references to Jammu and Kashmir made in a joint statement by Pakistan and China following a meeting in Beijing. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, stated that India categorically rejects these references, asserting that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and that no other country has the authority to comment on the issue. The joint statement emerged from discussions between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, where they called for closer cooperation. India has consistently opposed the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which it views as an illegal project infringing on its territorial integrity. Jaiswal also addressed the mention of 'trans-boundary water resources cooperation' between China and Pakistan, clarifying that such a concept is invalid as the two countries do not share a boundary recognized by India. This statement underscores India's position on its territorial claims and its rejection of foreign involvement in the Kashmir issue.
