Asserting that there is a large presence of Chinese troops and workers in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), Northern Command Chief Lt Gen T K Parnaik today said that China would not like to "interfere" in border conflict between India and Pakistan.
"There is a large number of People's Liberation Army(PLA) troops and Chinese workers in PoK and we also know that they are involved in construction of infrastructural projects in Gilgit-Baltistan and PoK," Parnaik told reporters after presenting gallantry and distinguished service awards to 44 Army personnel of the Northern Command at the Investure ceremony on 65th Army Day celebration in Delhi.
However, no report has been received about their carrying of weapons in PoK and are readying for it, Parnaik said. "I do not think China will be stakeholder in India and Pakistan on the issue of border skirmishes-- it has not interfered and will not do it," he said.
