J&K shadow looms large ahead of Modi-Xi summit in TN this week

Live Mint  

Kashmir seems to be casting a shadow on the second informal summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping this weekend in the coastal town of Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu. “We have seen the report regarding the meeting of Chinese President Xi Jinping with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan, which also refers to their discussions on Kashmir,” said foreign ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar. Earlier in the day, the Indian foreign ministry said that the Chinese president would be visiting Chennai on 11-12 October for the second informal summit. India had previously explained to China that reorganising Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh into two Union territories was a purely internal matter with no impact on India’s external boundaries, the person said.
