- Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh have been shown as "independent entities" by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation which said this was its approach towards "disputed" areas.
- The categorisation came as a surprise to many here as the UN has been so far only treating Jammu and Kashmir as a dispute between India and Pakistan while viewing Arunachal Pradesh as a part of India.
- In its report, FAO has shown Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as separate countries along with India. The Indian states figure in country grouping for East Asia. The names are there in annexure five of the 2010 FAO report to assess greenhouse gas emissions from the dairy sector.
- Arunachal Pradesh has been spelt as 'Arunashal' Pradesh in the list which also shows Aksai Chin as a separate country.
