China said- Unilateral decision on Kashmir is wrong

Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang reached Pakistan after the SCO meeting in Goa. Here he met Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto. In the press conference after the meeting, the Chinese minister raised the issue of Kashmir. He said- The Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan has been going on like this for a long time. This issue should be resolved on the basis of UN resolutions and bilateral agreements. Also, both countries should not take any unilateral decisions in Kashmir.
Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang has reached Pakistan on a 2-day visit. This is his first Pak visit. On Saturday, Qin held a meeting with Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto. The two sides issued a joint statement at the end of the fourth round of 'Pakistan-China Strategic Dialogue' in Islamabad.
Qin Gang said- the Kashmir dispute should be resolved through UN Charter, Security Council resolutions and bilateral agreements. Unilateral decisions can worsen the situation. Along with this, both ministers also expressed commitment to CPEC. He called it a good step for economic development and employment.
Apart from this, Qin said that China, Pakistan and Afghanistan are neighboring countries. Pak-Afghanistan should work together to improve their bilateral relations. We hope that the Taliban will give equal rights to people of all castes and religions.
After this Bilawal Bhutto said – This year CPEC will complete a decade. This has led to socio-economic development, employment and better living standards for the people in Pakistan. The CPEC, being built in collaboration with China for $60 billion, is a colony that passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK). India has been continuously opposing it because it is in POK and this gives China a direct route to the Arabian Sea via Balochistan.
Earlier on Friday, after returning from Goa, Bilawal Bhutto had said – Our visit to India was successful. We have rejected the ideology of RSS and BJP of considering every Muslim as a terrorist. There is a feeling of insecurity inside India. RSS and BJP are trying to create this myth that Muslims all over the world are terrorists. They declare Pakistanis as terrorists. We have tried to break this myth. Relations with India cannot recover until the August 2019 situation in Kashmir is restored.
Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said after the Shanghai Cooperation Council (SCO) meeting in Goa on Friday that we have suffered the brunt of terror. Those who feed terror are themselves hypocrites for being victims. On the question asked on the Rajouri attack during the press conference, Jaishankar said that Pakistan's reputation on the issue of terrorism is as empty as its treasury. Pakistan is the biggest promoter of terror factories in the world.
He said that India is making every effort to deal with cross-border terror. On one to one meeting with Bilawal, Jaishankar said that SCO is a multilateral forum, it is not a bilateral forum. Jaishankar acknowledged that relations between India and China are not normal. China should withdraw the forces from Ladakh.
Foreign Minister Jaishankar had made it clear that India is not going to talk to Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir. Now only this issue will be talked about when Pakistan is going to remove its occupation from illegally occupied PoK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir).
