Indian FM urges China, India to de-escalate Himalayan border
Jaishankar expressed concern over the militarized and disputed border, fearing that it could lead to conflict.
Delhi: India's Foreign Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, called for both China and India to step back from the potential confrontation along the western Himalayan border.
The deployment of troops and equipment by both sides in recent years has escalated tensions, following a deadly clash in 2020.
FM emphasized the need for disengagement and stated that the present impasse does not serve China's interests either.
While diplomatic and military talks have helped ease tensions, the situation remains fragile and dangerous.
India and China share a long frontier, and efforts to maintain peace have been ongoing since a brief war in 1962.
However, India's participation in the Quad strategic security group, which aims to counterbalance China's influence, has added complexity to the relationship.
Beijing has criticized the Quad as a US-led effort to contain China's rise.
