"We mentioned that Chinese activity in PoK should not become adverse to India's interest," Khurshid said.

The Minister said Chinese authorities explained that their "engagement in PoK is developmental engagement of civilian companies of China".

"We flagged the issue. I think it is important that we flagged the issue. It is being flagged and I think they are sensible to our concerns.

"We have both repeated that we will be sensitive to each other's concerns which I think is an important beginning that we made," Khurshid told reporters here.

Asked if the issue of South China was discussed, he said no.

"South China Sea was not discussed at all. J and K was not discussed at all. We discussed Tibet from the point of view of dissent and protests Tibetans do in different parts of the world including whether they do in India or not," he said.

Khurshid added India had restated with "clarity and with emphasis on our position on Tibet vis-a vis China, which is that Tibet is an autonomous part of China".
