We expect other countries to respect our sovereignty: India on China's reference to Kashmir at UNGA

New Delhi: Reacting to Chinese Foreign Minister's reference to Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), India said it expects other countries to respect its "sovereignty and territorial integrity".

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Kashmir is a dispute from the history and should be resolved according to UN Charter, UN Security Council resolutions and bilateral agreements.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in a statement, "We have seen a reference made by China's Foreign Minister to Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh, in his statement to the UN General Assembly. The Chinese side is well aware of India's position that Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh are an integral part of India, and that the recent developments are entirely a matter internal to us.

We expect that other countries will respect India's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and desist from efforts to change the status quo through the illegal so-called China Pakistan Economic Corridor in Pakistan occupied Kashmir."

India have repeatedly maintained that Kashmir, which has lost the special status after New Delhi abrogated Article 370 on Aug 5, is its internal matter.

Not just China, earlier Pakistan, even at the UNGA on Friday, raised the Kashmir issue and tried to internationalise it.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday even threatened India with a nuclear war.
