Delivering his remarks in the Parliament on the ‘Latest Developments in India’s Foreign Policy’, External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar on Wednesday said that India won’t tolerate China’s attempts to unilaterally change the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
As per ANI report, Jaishankar further warned that if China continues to build forces in the border area, it will have serious impact and concerns on the relationship of both countries.
“Diplomatically, we’re clear with Chinese we won’t tolerate attempts to unilaterally change LAC. If they continue to do that and build up forces which constitute serious concerns in border area then our relationship isn’t normal and that abnormality is evident in last few years,” the External Affairs Minister said during his address to Rajya Sabha.
Earlier when Jaishankar met the outgoing Chinese envoy to India Sun Weidong in October, emphasized that peace and tranquillity in the border areas are essential to maintaining bilateral ties.
“Emphasized that the development of India-China relations is guided by the 3 Mutuals. Peace and tranquillity in the border areas are essential,” Jaishankar tweeted after meeting ambassador Sun.
“The normalization of India-China relations is in the interest of both countries, of Asia and the world at large,” he said in another tweet.
