India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Saturday raised New Delhi’s concerns on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) during a three-hour-long meeting with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.

Kashmir cause cannot be suppressed through violence, Nisar tells India

Swaraj made it clear India would “resolutely oppose” CPEC which runs through Indian-claimed territory in ‘Azad Kashmir’ (Azad Kashmir). The statement comes after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asserted, at an all-party meeting in New Delhi, that “Azad Kashmir belongs to India.”

India also took up China’s blocking of its bid for the Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG) membership and Beijing’s opposition to UN sanctions against Jaish-e-Muhammed chief Masood Azhar.

Swaraj highlighted India’s efforts of meeting the clean energy goals in the context of COP-21 which “qualifies it for NSG membership”. India offered to discuss any technical issues or concerns China may have regarding its eligibility for the Group’s membership bid.

Olive branch extended: Pakistan invites India to hold dialogue on Kashmir

China had scuttled India’s bid for membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) at the plenary meeting of the 48-nation grouping in June on the grounds that it was not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), evoking a strong reaction from India. “China is the only country that put a road block to India’s NSG membership,” India protested.

Swaraj also raised the issue of China blocking India’s efforts to get JeM chief Masood Azhar, alleged mastermind of the Mumbai and Pathankot terror attacks, banned by the UN.

“China’s technical hold on listing of Masood Azhar in the UNSC 1267 Committee was also taken up. China was urged to revisit its technical hold in line with its own professed zero-tolerance towards terrorism,” TOI reported.

PM dedicates Aug 14 to Kashmir cause

The Chinese side, however, remained unmoved on both issues. On NSG, Wang conveyed China’s persistence with India’s signing of the NPT, while on Masood Azhar, he asked India to “sort it out” with Pakistan.

Interestingly, the Chinese foreign minister had not visited to discuss the issues raised by India. He was reportedly more focused on getting India’s cooperation at the forthcoming multilateral summits like G-20, BRICS, East Asia Summit etc in the coming months.

I actually lost the count India has raised concerns about CPEC yet work on CPEC projects is in full swing. This Randi Rona is just getting too old now. India is the only nation which has objections on projects that bring prosperity to others which is pretty pathetic.

Of many things I love about China, one main point is that they are damn good listeners, but in the end do whatever is right for them.

 

[koolio]

It's very clear Indians are damn butt hurt about CPEC.

 

[shah1398]

Why Chinese FM is in India first of all!!??Have you ever wondered??
A country should do whatever is right for them..
Except Pakistan does whatever is right for China..

Do U know the trade volume between China and India? And do U know in whose favor overwhelmingly this very volume right now is? If U know all that then already have the answer of your question.

Objection is only on the part when the CPEC goes through Kashmir region, you can have trade within yourself, but hands off the Kashmir

Exactly check the trade volume between India-China and China-Pakistan , realize we can have big influence on China, after all Chinese are business minded.

Correction: Chinese are sane minded.

Apart from being a totally misogynist and deplorable remark,it a superb example of severe mental retardation.

This type of thought process is the reason for lack of respect of women in Indian Subcontinental countries.

In short, you are an idiotic dumbass

@waz will take any stricture for calling him an idiotic dumbass on this ... with pleasure.

@Joe Shearer thanks for reddening the dumbass

When China raise the concern that India is doing infrastructure in South Tibet, they ignore us, and Pakistan is doing infrastructure in their own country, India come to complain to China? what kind of logic is that?

CPEC is not just an economic corridor but a red line draw over India's head to stop their dream to have a direct access to Afghanistan and to Central Asia, once this CPEC is operation, it will not only facilitate China-Pakistan link but also create a great barrier to India psychologically, off course India won't appreciate that so we can understand why they objected numerous times over this mega project...but it's too late for them this project is on the middle of construction, Pakistan and China will never stop it.

Full swing or not, the fact is that the Chinese are building infrastructure on DISPUTED territory. Period. This is against international norms and Pakistan is blatantly allowing this illegal activity with impunity which is unacceptable.

Half your countrymen say Kashmir is no longer disputed under international law other half say it is first decide

And you're committing genocides in disputed territory. Isn't that an illegal activity?
