JAMMU, Sept 16: Pakistan is annoyed with a UAE Minister sharing a video clip on the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor which depicts a map showing the entire UT of J&K as part of India. The map includes Gilgit Baltistan and Pakistan occupied Jammu Kashmir (PoJK) on which Islamabad has administrative control.
“Any map showing the entire J&K as part of India is legally untenable and factually incorrect. We hope that our international partners will pay due attention to these facts,” said Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch.
On the connectivity project from which Pakistan has been excluded, the spokesperson said it is at the stage of conception. “So, we will be in a position to comment once this project materialises. We believe that decisions on different connectivity projects should be made on a case-to-case basis, keeping in view a number of factors including the implication for other countries,” she observed.
