Topic Description:

India’s decisions on Jammu and Kashmir are the country’s “internal” matter and have no implication for either the external boundaries of India or the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi amidst Beijing’s objection to the formation of Ladakh as a Union Territory. During his bilateral meeting with Wang, Jaishankar also said it was important to ensure that bilateral differences should not become disputes and emphasised that the future of the ties will depend on the mutual sensitivity to each other’s “core concerns”. Meanwhile, Wang said ‘On the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence, we can have mutually beneficial cooperation. This is in the fundamental and long-term interest of our two peoples and also contributes to world peace and human progress." India and China seemed to have stepped back from allowing Kashmir to become an unmanageable irritant between the two countries. The two countries also signed four MoUs and agreed to organize 100 activities in the coming months.
