China and India are neighbors and maintain good relations to meet the interests of the two countries, Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe said on Sunday, emphasizing that the two countries worked together for peace along the actual control line (LAC).
Overcoming the Shangri-La dialogue here, Wei also called for a peaceful way to resolve territorial disputes including those in the South China Sea.
China and India are neighbors and maintain good relations meet the interests of the two countries. And that’s what we are doing, “he emphasized.
In the question of the conflict on the Actual Control Path (LAC) with India, Wei said: “We have carried out 15 rounds of discussion at the Commander level with Indians and we work together for peace in this area.”
Wei responded to a question by Dr. Tanvi Madan, Director of the Indian Project at the Brookings Institution, a US think tank.
Madan has asked the Minister to explain why the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) two years ago unilaterally moved to change the status quo at several points in LAC with India, the reasons that caused military clashes, the first in 45 years between them two countries, and steps- The steps that violate the agreement that had been negotiated by Beijing-Deli carefully for 25 years.
China has also built bridges and built other infrastructure such as roads and housing units in border areas with India.
India and China have held 15 rounds of military talks so far to resolve Ladakh’s deadlock.
As a result of the conversation, both parties completed the release process last year on the north and south of Lake Pangong and in the Gogra area.
However, each party currently has around 50,000 to 60,000 troops along the LAC in the sensitive sector.
