India has strongly rejected China's territorial claims and infrastructure development in the Shaksgam Valley, asserting it is Indian territory and the 1963 China-Pakistan boundary agreement is illegal and invalid. The Ministry of External Affairs and Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi reiterated India's stance, stating that any activity in the region is unacceptable. China, however, maintains the territory belongs to China and its construction activities are justified, citing the 1960s boundary agreement with Pakistan. Ladakh's Lieutenant Governor also asserted that the entire Pakistan-occupied Kashmir belongs to India.
