New Delhi, Oct 9: While India continues relentlessly to assert
that Jammu Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh are both integral part of the
country, United Nations does not seem to agree.
A report by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations
has named Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal as completely separate
countries in the list of East Asian countries.
The names of the disputed states figure in Annexure 5 of the 2010 FAO
report on assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from the dairy sector.
Besides this, Arunachal Pradesh has been spelt as ‘Arunashal’ Pradesh.
Another disputed region that has been treated as a separate country by
FAO is Aksai Chin, which China holds as its integral part.
As per reports, FAO has defended its treatment of these states citing
that the disputed areas were deliberately being treated as independent
entities. Agencies
