As Chinese Army incursions continue to recur, India has cautioned China that any disturbance of peace and tranquillity in the border areas can vitiate the overall atmosphere of bilateral ties.
Speaking at a seminar on Sino-India ties here, Indian ambassador to China S. Jaishankar stressed that any disturbance at the border will have an adverse impact on the public perception which is vital for improvement of bilateral ties.
In his speech titled, “Old Ties-New Model?”, he said, “today, constraints on conflict and confrontation are indisputable. It has put the focus on maintaining peace and tranquillity on the disputed border between India and China”.
The closed door seminar was organised by the New Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation (ORF) and China Foreign Affairs University Conference, in which strategic analysts from both sides took part.
It was held on August 19 but his speech copies were circulated to the media here on Wednesday.
