It should be properly resolved in a peaceful way in accordance with the "UN Charter", the Security Council resolutions and the relevant bilateral agreement. Relevant parties should avoid the complexity of the situation caused by unilateral actions. Dialogue should be resolved through dialogue and negotiations to maintain regional peace and stability.

The Twenty Group is the main forum for international economic and financial cooperation. We call on all major economies to focus on the stability of the world economy, avoid politicalization of related cooperation, and make positive contributions to improving global economic governance.

Indian newspaper Trust reporter: Regarding the activities you just mentioned in Kashmir, will China attend? If China thinks that this controversial area is a problem, why should we plan and implement the China -Pakistan Economic Corridor here?

What you are talking about is a completely different nature. China has carried out some projects that help Pakistan's economic development and conducive to social livelihood in Pakistan. Some of these projects are located in the Kashmir area. The main purpose of China -related enterprises to carry out related projects is to help the local economy and improve people's livelihood. This does not affect China's position on Kashmir.
