India's Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement rejecting references to Jammu and Kashmir made in a joint statement by China and Pakistan. The statement characterized these references as "unwarranted" and reaffirmed India's position on the territorial integrity of the region.

Coverage of this event varies among outlets. The Times of India and Hindustan Times emphasized the strategic implications of the joint statement, suggesting that China is using the Kashmir issue to strengthen ties with Pakistan. In contrast, The Hindu focused more on the rejection itself, providing a straightforward account without delving into the geopolitical ramifications. None of the outlets provided extensive background on the historical context of India-China-Pakistan relations.

No outlet included perspectives from international analysts or experts on the potential impact of this diplomatic exchange, which could provide a deeper understanding of the situation. This omission may reflect a blind spot in the coverage, particularly among the center and left-leaning sources.
