China failed to maintain a long-term written agreement with India : External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar

New Delhi – External Minister S Jaishankar has once again brought the true face of China to the world. He was speaking while interacting with Indian expatriates in the Malaysian capital. Responding to a question about the current state of India-China relations, Jaishankar said, “My first duty to Indians is to protect the border and I can never compromise on that. China has failed to maintain a long-term written agreement with India.

Jaishankar further said,

1. Deploying troops near the Line of Actual Control will be a prerequisite for further bilateral relations with China.

2. Every country wants good relations with its neighbours; but every relationship has to be established on some basis. We are still in discussions with China.

3. We have a tradition of not deploying troops on the Line of Direct Control between India and China. Both countries have military bases a short distance away, which are traditional locations for military deployments.

4. Relations between India and China have become tense since the deadly clash in the Galwan Valley in June 2020.
