China allays India's fears on OBOR

The Chinese foreign ministry's response came over the remarks of MEA spokesperson Gopal Baglay.

Beijing: China dismissed India’s concerns over the Belt and Road initiative, saying the venture has international support and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project which is a part of it will not affect Beijing’s stand on Kashmir.

Reacting to India’s reservations over the CPEC, a flagship project of China’s prestigious One Belt and Road (OBOR), the Chinese foreign ministry said over 100 countries and organisations were already involved in the venture.

“The initiative was proposed in 2013, and four years on, over 100 countries around the world and international organisations have supported it,” the foreign ministry said.

The Chinese foreign ministry’s response came over the remarks of MEA spokesperson Gopal Baglay, who had asserted two days ago that India cannot accept a project that violates its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
