China reaffirms its territorial claims over Shaksgam Valley after India’s objections

Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo BEIJING, Jan 12 : China on Monday reaffirmed its territorial claims over the Shaksgam Valley in the backdrop of India’s objections, stressing that the Chinese infrastructure projects in the area are “beyond reproach”. India last Friday criticised China’s infrastructure development projects in the Shaksgam Valley, saying it reserves the right to take necessary measures to safeguard its interests as it is an Indian territory. Pakistan illegally ceded 5,180 sq km of Indian territory in the Shaksgam Valley to China in 1963 from areas illegally occupied by it.

Key Highlights

  • “Shaksgam Valley is Indian territory.
  • We have never recognised the so-called China-Pakistan ‘boundary agreement’ signed in 1963.
  • We have consistently maintained that the agreement is illegal and invalid,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
  • “We also do not recognise the so-called China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which passes through Indian territory that is under forcible and illegal occupation of Pakistan,” he said.
  • Reacting to Jaiswal’s comments, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a media briefing here that “first of all, the territory you mentioned is part of China’s territory”.
