General Upendra Dwivedi, India's Army Chief, stated the 1963 agreement between Pakistan and China regarding Shaksgam Valley is illegal, asserting India's claim over the territory. The Ministry of External Affairs reiterated its position that the area is Indian territory and condemned ongoing Chinese infrastructure projects there as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

India maintains that Pakistan unlawfully ceded approximately 5,180 square kilometers of land to China. The Indian government warns that any activities in this valley will face opposition, emphasizing the importance of territorial integrity. The situation along the Line of Actual Control remains stable but requires ongoing vigilance.
