Speaking at a panel discussion on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2022 in Munich, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India was having a problem with China along the Line of Actual Control.
India's relationship with China is right now going through a "very difficult phase" after Beijing violated agreements not to bring the military forces in the border, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said, emphasising that the "state of the border will determine the state of the relationship".
Speaking at a panel discussion on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2022 in Munich, Mr Jaishankar said that India was having a problem with China along the Line of Actual Control.
"For 45 years, there was peace, there was stable border management, there were no military casualties on the border from 1975. That changed because we had agreements with China not to bring military forces to the border (the Line of Actual Control or LAC) and the Chinese violated those agreements," the minister said in response to a question from moderator Lynn Kuok.
"Now, the state of the border will determine the state of the relationship. That's natural. So obviously, the relations with China right now are going through a very difficult phase," he added.
