India slams China, Pak for seeking participation of 3rd countries in CPEC

India slammed China and Pakistan for seeking participation of third countries in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, saying such actions directly infringe on India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and will be treated accordingly.

The CPEC, which passes through disputed Gilgit-Baltistan, is one of the reasons India continues to boycott China’s BRI. China and Pakistan recently invited participation of third countries in what is considered the flagship BRI project. “We have seen reports on encouraging a proposed participation of third countries in the so-called CPEC projects,” MEA said.
