Amid concerns voiced by India over China's plans to have a rail link with Pakistan through the Karakoram ranges, Beijing today said the Sino-Pak strategic partnership was not aimed at targeting any third country.Foreign office spokesman Qing Gang said at a press briefing while evading a direct response to a query about reports of the proposed rail link through theGilgit-Baltistan region that China and Pakistan are strategic partners enjoying profound traditional friendship. He said, their cooperation is not only beneficial for the two countries but also great for the peace and prosperity of the region.According to reports in the past, Pakistan had awarded a 1.2 million dollar contract to an international consortium to conduct a feasibility study for the 750-km rail line in 2007.As per the past proposal, China would lay the track up to Khujerab.The proposed rail link is a matter of concern to India as it passes through some of the disputed areas forming part of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said in New Delhi that we are closely watching what is happening.Earlier, Minister of State for Defence M M Pallam Raju said on the issue that it is definitely a matter of concern. And we are taking our counter measures and we are doing our own preparation.
