Ms. Hua’s remarks followed two articles that appeared on Friday in the Global Times , affiliated with the Communist Party of China, which advocated that India should reciprocate the gesture from Pakistan.
“New Delhi should consider accepting the olive branch Pakistan has extended in a bid to participate in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor,” one of the write-ups said.
The commentary stressed that the promise of economic gains from the project should persuade India to override its concerns regarding the passage of the corridor through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The second article was more specific in highlighting that China wants India to become part of the CPEC. “China believes that India should be part of the project and actively persuade Pakistan to accept it,” it observed.
However, without naming India, the article warned that China would reject any attempt to discredit Pakistan as a supporter of terrorism.
