New Dehli : Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised “very strongly” the issue of the China-Pakistan economic corridor during his visit to Beijing and told them that it is “unacceptable”, reported by Zee News.
Answering queries at a press conference, she said that the government had summoned the Chinese envoy over the $46 billion economic corridor that is to run through Pakistani Kashmir. She said that the Indian envoy in Beijing had also raised the issue.
Chinese President Xi Jinping had announced the ambitious 3,000 km-long China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) during his visit to Pakistan in April. “The prime minster during his visit took up the issue very firmly and spoke very strongly that the CPEC going through Azad Jammu Kashmir is unacceptable,” she said.
