Shaksgam Valley Dispute: India Rejects 1963 China-Pakistan Boundary Agreement

• India objects to China's infrastructure projects in Shaksgam Valley, asserting it's Indian territory.
• The Shaksgam Valley, part of pre-1947 Jammu and Kashmir, was illegally occupied by Pakistan in 1948.
• In 1963, Pakistan signed a boundary agreement with China, ceding the 5180 sq km Shaksgam Valley.
• India considers the 1963 agreement illegal and invalid, as Pakistan had no right to transfer Indian territory.
• China is building an all-weather road in the valley, which India views as an attempt to alter facts on the ground.

Why It Matters: India firmly rejects the 1963 China-Pakistan boundary agreement and China's activities in Shaksgam Valley.
