The world is getting scarier of Indian covert designs of its diplomatic moves. India falsely tries to depict before the world that there is no freedom fight continuing in the Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Whereas the on the ground realities are quite different because Kashmiris are showing their full resentment towards Indian government’s anti human being policies in IIOJK. India has converted IIOJK into world most densely militarized occupied zone and it is not acceptable to any of Indian neighbor. By keeping over a million troops stationed in IIOJK, India on one side continuously pose security threats to Pakistan as well as wants to keep China also under pressure.
On one hand Pakistan has often raised this issue on international forums and demand just right to self determination for Kashmiris and on the other hand China has also serious reservations about Indian activities along LAC as well as inside the occupied territory. A few days back India raised another issue on diplomatic fronts by announcing to hold G-20 meeting in IIOJK just to show the world that there is quite normalcy in IIOJK.
Now China has strongly opposed the Indian plan of holding the G-20 meeting in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and called on the member of the grouping to focus on economic recovery and avoid politicizing the relevant issue. China’s position on Kashmir is consistent and clear cut. It is a legacy issue between India and Pakistan. It should be properly resolved in accordance with the relevant United Nations (UN) resolutions and bilateral agreement. Relevant parties should avoid complicating the situation with the unilateral move.
Pakistan has already completely rejected India’s attempt to hold the G-20 meeting in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, reiterating that the region is under New Delhi’s forcible and illegal occupation. As per media reports, India is planning to host the 2023 meetings of the G-20 and its Ministry of External Affairs has issued directives to the authorities in the occupied territory to ensure necessary arrangements. Noting the relevant information, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson stressed to address the disputes through dialogue and consultations and jointly uphold peace and stability.
We need to address the disputes through dialogue and consultation and jointly uphold peace and stability, says Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian. G-20 is a premier forum for international economic cooperation and called on relevant sides to focus on economic recovery and avoid politicizing the relevant issue so as to make positive contribution to improving the global economic governance. China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which is constructed in the region is completely different in nature than holding of G20 meetings in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
China has undertaken projects to help Pakistan to grow its economy and improve livelihood.
The relevant Chinese companies who run the projects do so with the aim of helping the local people to develop the economy and improve their livelihood and that doesn’t mean our position on Kashmir is changed. I have already elaborated on our stern position on Kashmir. With regard to whether China will attend the meeting, the Chinese side will look into that.
