Tell, the UNSC meeting underscores the nexus between China and Pakistan. It was good for India that the meeting had no outcome, but New Delhi needs to watch. The close cooperation between Beijing and Islamabad is something that India has to be careful of. Almost every month brings a hostile Chinese act. This latest informal, closed-door UNSC meeting on Kashmir is an example. Despite the absence of any outcome, Beijing presented to the media a distorted summary of the discussions. Let’s not forget that China and Pakistan are old allies and their interests are pitched against India.
