The Ministry of External Affairs said it has lodged a strong protest with China for once again carrying out construction activities in the Shaksgam valley that falls in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), located 5,400 sq km north of Siachen and forms a strategically key location for the Chinese, giving them an advantage along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
