Kashmir will become part of China, Pakistan FO responds over Chinese TV rumoured report in media

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesperson has reported over media reports and rumours regarding Kashmir on Chinese TV.

FO spokesperson cleared the air on rumours on Chinese television that Kashmir will become a part of China, claiming that there is no truth to such reports.

“The Chinese state television used a pre-approved map in which occupied Kashmir was shown in white.”

Referring to the atrocities in Indian occupied Kashmir, he said that Indian forces should accept actual facts and stop maligning. He added that Pakistan wants to open the Kartarpur corridor before Baba Guru Nanak’s 550th birth anniversary in 2019.

He added that Pakistan is working on a positive relationship with India to resolve the Kashmir issue. “The success of the Kartarpur project should not sideline Kashmir as it is on the top of Pakistan’s list of priorities,” he said.

Deflecting questions pertaining to the rise of the dollar, Faisal said that it falls under the mandate of the finance ministry and the foreign office has nothing to do with it.
