India protests visit of British High Commissioner in Islamabad to Pakistan occupied Kashmir

Jane Marriott, the British envoy in Pakistan, travelled to Mirpur in PoK on January 10 and held several meetings with businesspeople, members of the local community and government officials.

The external affairs ministry said in a statement that the Indian side has taken “serious note of the highly objectionable visit” by Marriott and a UK Foreign Office official to PoK.

“Such infringement of India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is unacceptable,” the statement said.
