Pakistan Contacts US Over India Map Showing PoK, Welcomes 'Correction'
- •Pakistan reached out to the US Trade Representative’s (USTR) office regarding an India map showing PoK and Aksai Chin as Indian territory.
- •The map was posted on USTR’s X account with an announcement of an India-US trade agreement and later removed.
- •Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesperson stated they urged US authorities to remove the map, which caused embarrassment.
- •The spokesperson welcomed the US 'correction' after they realized the map was 'illegal' and not UN-sanctioned.
- •The removal follows debate on whether the depiction was an error or a deliberate message, as official US maps traditionally show PoK with separate demarcation.
