The Trans-Karakoram Tract is an area of nearly 5,800 km2 (2,239 sq mi) that was transferred by a border agreement from the Pakistani-administered Northern Areas to China in 1963 with the proviso that the settlement was subject to the final solution of the Kashmir dispute. Pakistan says that it was a no-man''s undemarcated border land, hence no question arises of its being transferred. The transfer is disputed by India which claims the Tract as part of Indian Jammu and Kashmir state.
