On the Azhar issue, Jaishankar made it clear to Chinese officials that the burden of proof is not on India. Last week, China contended India is yet to provide “solid evidence” against Azhar. So, there is a body of world opinion out there (against Azhar),” Jaishankar said after his strategic dialogue with executive vice-foreign minister, Zhang Yesui. On the NSG issue, Jaishankar said China was “open” to India’s joining but said there were procedures and processes to be completed. Fact is CPEC is part of this particular initiative and CPEC violates India’s sovereignty because it runs through PoK.
