JAISHANKAR HITS OUT AT CHINA, PAKISTAN AT TASHKENT CONFERENCE

  • 16/07/2021

India's foreign minister Subramanyam Jaishankar hit out at China and Pakistan for not respecting India's sovereignty while building infrastructure for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. The minister did not name either China or Pakistan nor did he refer to the PoK projects, but the reference was obvious.

'at the end of the day, building connectivity is an act of trust and must, at the minimum, conform to international law. Respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity are the most basic principles of international relations,'' the minister said. India has protested several times about the CPEC projects in PoK, which New Delhi claims as its own. The issue of sovereignty was raised several times by India in the past. '…that connectivity must conform to international law, in the sense of respecting the sovereignty and integrity'' is a must said Jaishankar, speaking at the conference on infrastructure hosted by Uzbekistan.
