India 'firmly rejected' China's attempts to raise Kashmir issue at UNSC

"We have noted that China initiated a discussion in the UN Security Council on issues pertaining to the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir," the ministry of external affairs said

India on Thursday 'firmly rejected' China's attempts to raise Kashmir issue at the United Nations Security Council and asked Beijing to draw proper conclusions from such "infructuous attempts".

Hours after Beijing backed an attempt by Pakistan to discuss the Kashmir issue at the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Ministry of External Affairs, in a statement, said this is not the first time China has sought to raise a subject that is solely an internal matter of India.
