On Saturday, the Ministry of External Affairs expressed strong objections to the visit of the British High Commissioner in Islamabad to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Jane Marriott, the British High Commissioner to Pakistan, visited Mirpur on January 10, accompanied by a UK Foreign Office official.
In response to this, the Ministry of External Affairs released a statement stating that such actions amount to an infringement of India's sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is unacceptable. The statement mentioned that the foreign secretary has lodged a strong protest with the British High Commissioner in India regarding this infringement.
It emphasized that the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are, have been, and shall always remain an integral part of India. This statement highlights India's firm stance on the territorial integrity of the region.
