India, Ghana discuss ways to revive trade
PTI | 09:09 PM,Sep 03,2010Indian officials regard China's policy of issuing stapled visas to the residents of Jammu and Kashmir since last year as a big stumbling block in the path of improvement of bilateral ties. But the Chinese appeared to be unmoved with Jiang describing Jammu and Kashmir state as "India-controlled- Kashmir" as against her terming Gilgit-Baltistan as "Northen part of Pakistan". "About our visa policy toward inhabitants in the Indian controlled Kashmir region, the policy is consistent and stayed unchanged," Jiang said in her press briefing yesterday. She also denied the reports about Chinese troop presence in PoK, saying that it is a fabricated story aimed at destroying China's relations with Pakistan and India. Prior to that, Pakistan's Ambassador to China Masood Khan too denied the report saying that only a Chinese humanitarian assistance team was present in the area to assist the victims of the recent floods. Meanwhile, the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not publish questions relating to "northern parts of Pakistan" in the transcript of yesterday's regular press briefing posted on the its website.
