India has asked China to stop changing the status quo in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir by building the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor after Bejing raked up Kashmir issue from the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). China is building a mammoth infrastructure project CPEC that will give connectivity to western China with the Arabian sea. Reminding China that "Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh are integral parts of India", MEA said "recent developments are entirely a matter internal to us." Earlier, Wang Yi, the Foreign Minister of China, said at UNGA that New Delhi through its "unilateral" action by removing special status to Jammu and Kashmir is changing the "status quo" in the region. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Chinese Wang Yi earlier this week on the sidelines of UNGA to discuss the upcoming visit.
