India responds saying Xi Jinping should understand India’s position on Kashmir.
Xi told Khan at talks in Beijing ahead of the Chinese leader’s meeting with Modi in Chennai on Friday and Saturday that Beijing was paying close attention and that the facts are clear, the Xinhua state news agency reported. India’s foreign ministry said however: “India’s position has been consistent and clear that Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of India. China is well aware of our position.India and China’s ties have historically been testy, and recent events surrounding Kashmir, in particular Beijing’s diplomatic support to Islamabad at the United Nations have added to strains.
India’s move in August to split Jammu and Kashmir state into two irked China because it will make the Ladakh region of the state a separate Indian administrative territory. That coincided with a much more serious face-off in the Doklam plateau claimed by both China and Bhutan, when Chinese soldiers started building a road and India sent its forces to halt the process.
India also recently staged military exercises in Arunachal Pradesh state, part of which Beijing claims.India and China, home to more than a third of humanity, also have differences over trade, with both wanting greater market access, even if they share a common adversary in US President Donald Trump.
