India rebukes ChinaIndia rebukes China, Pakistan over Kashmir remarks
India on Tuesday rejected references to Jammu and Kashmir in a joint statement issued after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to China.
New Delhi said the territory and Ladakh are integral parts of India and that no other country has the right to comment on them.
The exchange underscores how the Kashmir dispute continues to shape India’s ties with both China and Pakistan.

India said the references were unwarranted and said Jammu and Kashmir, along with Ladakh, remain integral parts of the country. It framed the comments as outside interference in a matter it considers entirely internal.
China-Pakistan joint stance
The joint statement from Beijing and Islamabad repeated language that touched on Jammu and Kashmir in the context of bilateral talks. Pakistan has long maintained that the dispute should be addressed internationally, while China has its own territorial interests in the region.
- The Kashmir dispute has triggered wars between India and Pakistan and remains one of Asia’s most enduring flashpoints.
- China controls Aksai Chin, another disputed area linked to the wider India-China border issue.
- Pakistan and China have deep defense cooperation, including regular military and diplomatic coordination.
