India on Friday expressed its deep concern over reports that China is developing road and military infrastructure at the Shaksgam Valley, a territory ceded by Pakistan to Beijing.
‘’Shaksgam Valley is Indian territory. We have never recognised the so-called China-Pakistan boundary agreement of 1963 which is illegal and invalid. We don’t recognise the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which passes through Indian territory in Jammu & Kashmir. The entire J & K is an integral and inalienable part of India,’’ Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing.
