- ITBP chief confirmed ongoing face-offs in Arunachal Pradesh locations.
China’s Foreign Ministry on Monday said Beijing had strictly complied with agreements and understandings with India, responding to reports of continuing face-offs between the two sides in Arunachal Pradesh. Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Chinese forces were conducting routine patrols and border management activities to safeguard territorial sovereignty and stability. He urged India to work with China to implement existing understandings and maintain peace along the frontier.
Beijing’s Response
Guo said China remained in communication with India through diplomatic and military channels. He urged New Delhi to work with Beijing to implement existing understandings and take concrete steps to preserve peace and tranquillity along the border.
The statement followed remarks by India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on reports of face-offs involving Chinese troops at several locations in Arunachal Pradesh. On Friday, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the border situation was disturbed from time to time when Chinese forces diverged from established patrolling patterns.
Jaiswal said both countries continued to use diplomatic and military mechanisms to address unresolved issues and prevent misunderstandings along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). He added that the two sides had agreed to discuss ways to improve their understanding of the LAC in selected areas.
