Before the exchange of pleasantries that will inevitably follow when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits China, India has chosen to take on its neighbour for the development of infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
According to an Indian Express report, the issue has been taken up in New Delhi and Beijing. A Hindu report said that while Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar didn’t mention when the protest had been lodged, Chinese ambassador Le Yucheng in Delhi had been informed of India’s displeasure, while the Indian ambassador in China had conveyed the same to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
