Munich: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday India’s relations with China right now was going through a “very difficult phase” following Beijing’s violation of border agreements.
The EAM also underlined that the “state of the border will determine the state of the relationship”.
Addressing the Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2022 Panel Discussion, Jaishankar said that there is a problem India is having with China.
“And the problem is that for 45 years there was peace, there was stable border management, there were no military casualties on the border from 1975,” he was quoted as saying in response to a question from the host by news agency PTI.
“That changed because we had agreements with China not to bring military forces to the… we call it the border but it’s Line of Actual Control, and the Chinese violated those agreements,” Jaishankar said.
“The state of the border will determine the state of the relationship, that’s natural,” he added.
“So obviously relations with China right now are going through a very difficult phase,” said the minister, adding that India’s relations with the West were quite decent even before June 2020.
