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.
