On India-China ties, foreign minister S Jaishankar said that India had agreements with China not to bring military forces to the border, but China violated those agreements.
India's relations with China right now was going through a "very difficult phase" after Beijing violated border agreements, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday, underlining that the "state of the border will determine the state of the relationship".
Mr Jaishankar, addressing the Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2022 Panel Discussion in Munich, 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 said in response to a question from the host.
"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," Mr Jaishankar said. He said that "the state of the border will determine the state of the relationship, that's natural".
