The Sino-Pakistan Agreement[a] is a 1963 document between the governments of Pakistan and China establishing the border between those countries in the disputed Kashmir region.[3]
It resulted in both countries ceding over 1,942 square kilometres (750 sq mi)[clarification needed] to the other. Pakistan recognized Chinese sovereignty over land in Northern Areas of Kashmir and Ladakh.[4][5] However, Indian writers have insisted that in this transaction, Pakistan surrendered approximately 5,300 km2 (2,050 sq mi) of territory to China.[6][7] India claims the agreement is invalid, and claims sovereignty over part of the land. In addition to increasing tensions with India, the agreement shifted the balance of the Cold War by bringing Pakistan and China closer together while loosening ties between Pakistan and the United States.
