Some  of  the proposed projects under CPEC are in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK). It has been pointed out to them that Pakistan has been in illegal occupation of parts of the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir since 1947.

China has often repeated its concern on spread of terrorism and their desire to cooperate with us on this issue. On several occasions, China has reiterated with us their resolute opposition to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations  with  'zero  tolerance',  and  has  agreed  that  there  is  no justification for terrorism. Given the convergence in our respective positions, Government has conveyed to China that their stated position on terrorism should be demonstrated in concrete terms through practical steps in bilateral and multilateral fora.

Government  remains  engaged  with  China  as  well  as  with  the international  community  to  sensitise  them  about  India's  concerns,  and about  the  threat  terrorism  poses  to  international  peace,  security  and development.
