Pakistan responds over Indian External Affairs Ministry statement

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Foreign Office has responded over the Indian objections over the new CPEC bus service.

Pakistan Foreign Office has rejected protest by New Delhi over the bus service initiated between China and Pakistan through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

"We reject the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)' purported protest and statement regarding bus service through China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)," the Foreign Office said.

"India's repeated regurgitation of claims over Indian-occupied Kashmir can neither change the facts of history nor the legality of the Jammu & Kashmir dispute."

It noted that as per the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions, the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is disputed, the final status of which is to be determined through a democratic and impartial plebiscite to be held under the auspices of the UN.
