"Hope China Understands Our Viewpoint": India On Boycotting Belt And Road

[bhaigan]

NEW DELHI: 

HIGHLIGHTS

1. China's $60-billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor passes through PoK
2. India views all such projects must be aligned with national priorities
3. India says CPEC has not affected trade ties between Beijing and New Delhi

 

 

India's decision to not join China's Belt and Road Initiative over sovereignty concerns related to the CPEC has not affected the bilateral trade ties which have seen an "exponential growth", India's Ambassador to China Vikram Misri has said.

India skipped China's 2nd Belt and Road Forum (BRF) held from April 25 to 27 aimed at showcasing its trillion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) over its objection to USD 60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

India had also boycotted the first BRF held in 2017. New Delhi's reluctance to join the BRI has become a major irritant in the relations between the two countries.

"We feel that the infrastructure connectivity should be aligned with national priorities and should respect and follow certain well respected or broadly accepted (norms) in the world, which include the elements of transparency openness, level playing field, social, environmental and financial sustainability," Mr Misri said.

"These are the principles we follow in our own initiatives. The most important thing is that (they) must be aligned with national priorities. That is one basket. The other basket is that these initiatives can be sustainable and successful only in so far as they respect issues related to sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said in an interview to China's state-run CGTN.

No way China will take our concerns into consideration .....  Why should they even ... When the region is not in control of India ....  Get POK under control then they will listen ....
