Jammu and Kashmir's separatist leaders have mentioned China's role for the first time in resolving the dispute in Kashmir. India rules 45 per cent of Kashmir, Pakistan has about 35 per cent of the territory and China controls the rest.
"I believe that China is not a party to the Kashmir conflict but it has stakes as far as peace in the region is concerned," Mirwaiz Omar Farooq, chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat (Freedom) Conference, said.
