India’s decisions on Jammu and Kashmir are country’s “internal” matter and have no implication for either the external boundaries of India or the Line of Actual Control with China, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told his Chinese counterpart Wang yi amidst Beijing’s objection to the formation of Ladakh as Union Territory Beijing: India’s decisions on Jammu and Kashmir are country’s “internal” matter and have no implication for either the external boundaries of India or the Line of Actual Control with China, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told his Chinese counterpart Wang yi amidst Beijing’s objection to the formation of Ladakh as Union Territory. The visit of Jaishankar, the first Indian minister to tour China after the Modi government began its second term, is taking place following India’s decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and divide the state into two Union Territories, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. Jaishankar, who served as India’s Ambassador to China from 2009 to 2013, the longest tenure by an Indian envoy, told the foreign minister that “it is a pleasure for me to visit China early in my tenure as Foreign Minister to co-chair the high-level mechanism with you to also make preparations for the forthcoming informal summit between our leaders”. Foreign Minister Wang while referring to his restrictive delegation talks with Jaishankar in which only few officials were present, said, “We just had in-depth discussions and at the large group meeting would also have important discussions on bilateral issues and important political agenda between the two sides and I am sure your visit this time will be useful for our bilateral relations and for regional stability.
