India strongly rejected references to Jammu and Kashmir in a joint communiqué issued after the 8th EU-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue, calling them “unwarranted” and asserting that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inalienable parts of India. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said entities with no locus standi should refrain from commenting on India’s internal affairs. The communiqué noted that Pakistan briefed the European Union on Jammu and Kashmir, while the EU shared updates on the Ukraine conflict. India reiterated its longstanding position that no third party has any role in matters concerning the region. New Delhi also reaffirmed its opposition to CPEC projects in territories it claims.
