Tensions with China will continue until forward deployments are addressed: EAM S Jaishankar
He made these remarks at an event hosted by Carnegie Endowment in the US. India and China have been engaged in a territorial face-off since 2020 after the Chinese Army transgressed into multiple areas from the Galwan valley to the Finger area along the Pangong lake.
Speaking about ties between India and China, he said, «In terms of our own relationship with China, I think it's a long story, but the short version is that we have agreements on how to keep the border peaceful and tranquil, and those agreements were violated by China in 2020. And some of the...because we have forward deployments of our militaries, there are resultant tensions. And until those forward deployments are addressed the tensions would continue. If the tensions continue, it casts a natural shadow over the rest of the relationship. So our relationship hasn't been built for the last four years.»
It is pertinent to mention that the India-China standoff at the border is still continuing as multiple rounds of military and diplomatic discussions did not reap results.
Jaishankar noted that China accounts for about 31-32 per cent of global manufacturing and stressed that it has happened as international community, primarily Western-led, over the past few decades has opted to collaborate with China for mutual benefit.
