India-China border dispute: On the India-China border dispute, Foreign Minister Jaishankar has once again stood in favor of the Dragon. The Foreign Minister said that China will still have to take steps on many fronts to improve relations. When I said that 75 percent of the dispute has been resolved, it was only about the withdrawal of troops.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has once again taken a dig at China. Speaking at an event in the US, Jaishankar acknowledged India's 'difficult history' with China and said that when I said that 75 percent of the border dispute between the two countries has been resolved, it was only about the 'withdrawal of troops' part. The Foreign Minister said that there are still challenges in other aspects.
Relations deteriorated due to China's move during Corona!
Addressing the Asia Society at the Asia Society Policy Institute, the foreign minister also underlined how China violated previous agreements by increasing its troop deployment along the border during the Covid pandemic, resulting in clashes between troops of both sides and casualties. Jaishankar said the incident has damaged bilateral relations between the two countries.
We have a difficult history with China
Jaishankar said that our history with China has been difficult. The Foreign Minister said that despite our clear agreement with China, we saw during Covid that China violated this agreement and deployed a large number of troops on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). It was possible that an accident would happen and that is what happened. Therefore, a clash took place and many soldiers from both sides were killed.
Gave this advice to the dragon
Jaishankar acknowledged that a large part of the pending issues have been resolved but challenges still remain. There is still conflict, especially regarding border patrol rights. If relations with China are to improve, both countries must understand the importance of reducing tensions.
