Against that backdrop, the spokesperson said the Indian claims over Jammu and Kashmir were unfounded and misplaced.
India should not mislead the international community about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is a flagship developmental endeavor, agreed upon by two sovereign nations. Instead of making baseless claims about CPEC, India should implement, at the earliest, the relevant UN Security Council resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir it was further added.
