China-pakistan Border

India is unlikely to send any representative to China's big "One Belt One Road" summit beginning Sunday, in effect to a boycott of Beijing's ambitious initiative for cross border connectivity through ports, railways and roads.

India is working to upgrade road accessibility up to the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh, a move which comes in the backdrop of the construction of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through the Karakoram mountain range, one of the toughest terrains in the world.

At an elevation of more than 15,000 feet, yaks far outnumber cargo trucks crossing over Pakistan's border with China. A lone border agent stands guard on the Pakistan side, when he hasn't ducked into a steel shelter to avoid wind-whipped snow.

China's official news agency, Xinhua, has made a reference to what India calls Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) as Pakistan in a story released on Tuesday.
