China must discuss One-belt-one-road as it involves other countries

Kolkata, April 13: The One Belt-One Road (OBOR) initiative is not solely a Chinese project, as it has significant involvement of other Asian nations, a top diplomat said here on Thursday."OBOR was born in China but it runs through a whole lot of East Asian countries and it is important to note that wherever OBOR goes, they (the concerned countries) share discussions, share instructions among them."It is not China s solo project but a kind of a symphony of all countries," Chinese Consul General in Kolkata Ma Zhanwu said while answering a question on India s reservations about the project.India has repeatedly pointed out that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a key segment of OBOR, passes through Gilgit-Baltistan, legally an Indian territory, and this makes Indian acceptance of the project impossible.
