NEW DELHI: India urged China on Wednesday to stop development projects in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, the latest salvo prompted by a decades-long border dispute between the Asian giants.
“We hope that the Chinese side will take a long-term view of the India-China relations, and cease such activities in areas illegally occupied by Pakistan,” an Indian Foreign Ministry statement said. India was reacting to a comment by Chinese President Hu Jintao reported by the official news agency Xinhua that China was “glad” to carry on the Pakistani projects. |
