1. This valley is a strategic key region, that is part of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
2. India has lodged protest against the infrastructural development being carried out by China in this valley.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :

Explanation

The Shaksgam Valley (or Trans-Karakoram Tract) is a strategically sensitive region covering approximately 5,180 sq km. It was part of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir and came under Pakistani control (Gilgit-Baltistan) after 1947. In 1963, Pakistan illegally ceded this territory to China under the Sino-Pakistan Boundary Agreement. India has never recognized this pact, maintaining that the valley is an integral part of the Union Territory of Ladakh. In May 2024, India officially lodged a protest against China's construction of a road in the Shaksgam Valley, viewing it as an illegal attempt to alter the status quo on the ground and a violation of India's sovereignty. Therefore, both statements are correct.
