China says it owns Shaksgam Valley, building infrastructure there under a 1963 deal with Pakistan; India disputes the agreement and opposes China’s CPEC projects in the region.
China claims sovereignty over the Shaksgam Valley, citing a 1963 border agreement with Pakistan as justification for infrastructure projects there, including those connected to the CPEC.
Mao Ning, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, stressed that CPEC is an economic project unrelated to China's position on Kashmir and referred to the construction as a sovereign right.
India opposes CPEC because it passes through what it views as illegally occupied land, rejects the 1963 agreement as invalid, and maintains that the valley is Indian territory.
No new diplomatic developments have been reported, and both countries maintain their positions.
