The Minister of External Affairs said on Friday that Indo-China relations cannot be normal unless the border situation is. S Jaishankar added to his statements on Friday saying that if China disturbs the peace and tranquillity in border areas, it will further impact relations between the Asian countries.
“We have maintained our position that if China disturbs the peace and tranquillity in border areas, it will impact our relations. Our relationship is not normal, it cannot be normal as the border situation is not normal,” he said in Bengaluru.
Jaishankar also said that the big problem is the border situation and the Indian military has been holding on to the ground.
The Ministry of External Affairs earlier announced that there have been reports about third countries participating in projects of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Projects, and any such activity by any party directly infringed on India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
A spokesperson for the ministry Arindam Baghchi said India continues to firmly and consistently oppose projects in the “so-called CPEC, which are in Indian territory that has been illegally occupied by Pakistan”.
“Such activities are inherently illegal, illegitimate, and unacceptable, and will be treated accordingly by India,” the official statement added.
This response of the MEA comes amid reports that Pakistan and China have decided to invite any interested third country to join the multi-billion-dollar project which is supposed to be a mutually beneficial cooperation.
