India’s recent accusations against China’s infrastructure projects in the Shaksgam Valley and attempts to link CPEC to territorial disputes have no legal or factual basis. Experts confirm the valley is firmly part of China, and its development is a sovereign right.
The China-Pakistan border agreement of the 1960s, negotiated between two equal sovereign states, remains fully recognized. India’s denial of this treaty disregards the established legal and historical framework that governs the China-Pakistan boundary.
CPEC is a strategic economic corridor aimed at boosting trade, investment, and regional growth. Misrepresenting the project as a territorial issue is misleading and undermines regional cooperation. Analysts call for adherence to historical facts and treaties to maintain stability and peace in South Asia.
