Everything is Stable @LAC-China India can Properly Deal with the Situation-Spokesperson Zhao Lijian

Beijing; China is expounding its stern position on Line of Actual Control that Indian Troops provoked our troops in Galwan Valley by violating the line and attacking our soldiers. This was stated by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian in  Regular Press Conference on June 18, 2020

Responding to a question, he said that regarding what happened in the west section of the China-India boundary, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi expounded China’s stern position during his phone conversation with External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar. China has repeated multiple times that the whole thing happened because India’s front-line troops, in violation of the agreement reached at the commander-level meeting, once again crossed the Line of Actual Control for deliberate provocation when the situation in the Galwan Valley was already easing, and even violently attacked the Chinese officers and soldiers who went there for negotiation, thus triggering fierce physical conflicts and causing casualties.

Since the incident happened, China and India have made contacts and coordination through diplomatic and military channels. The two sides agreed to handle in a just manner the serious situation caused by the Galwan Valley clash, observe the agreement reached during the commander-level meeting, cool down the situation on the ground as soon as possible, and uphold peace and tranquility of the border areas.

 At present, the overall situation in the border areas is stable and controllable. We believe that guided by the important consensus reached between the two leaders, China and India can properly deal with the current situation, jointly uphold peace and stability in the border areas, and ensure a sound and steady development of bilateral relations.
