India is not answerable to anyone: S. Jaishankar said in China

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said that  India's decision on Jammu and Kashmir is country's internal matter and have no implication for either the external boundaries of India or the line of actual control with China. He told on his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the China's objection for the formation of Ladakh as Union Territory.

Foreign Minister visited China.
On August 6, two statements have come from China. One regarding change of status of Ladakh into Union Territory which the Chinese termed as "unacceptable" and other was on the Jammu and Kashmir issue.

In the backdrop of all these developments it was an extremely timely and useful visit. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar was there for technically High level meeting of High level mechanism for Cultural and People exchange. This initiative was taken last year when Prime Minister Narendra Modi  and President Xi Jinping had met in wuhan in April and then it was decided to enhance further impetus to bilateral relations.


S. Jaishankar's statement in China on Jammu and Kashmir:

- It is internal matter of India.

- It is part of Indian Constitution and it was temporary provision. The reason for it is done is to 
   improve Governance, Socio-Economic development of the State.

- India has all the sovereign authority to take action and India is not answerable to anyone outside.

By this a strong message was given by External Affairs Minister that When China is looking at relations between India and neighbouring countries, it should look at the realities exists on the ground. 


Has China realized that it should focus on Bilateral relations with India ?

Both the countries do realize that they need to focus their energies on Domestic Economic growth, Social development. Moving at a pace which is going ahead of the preferences of what India and China has become accustomed to in their bilateral relations. India and China finding common ground on multilateral affairs, good governance.
