NEW DELHI: INDIA reiterated on Thursday that peace and tranquility in border areas, as also respect for agreements on border peace, is essential for the development of bilateral relationship with China. India has repeatedly said that China’s efforts to unilaterally change the status quo at the border has resulted in the current tense situation between two countries. “You are aware of our long standing position that ensuring peace and tranquility in the border areas is essential for the development of our relationship. So too is the observance of bilateral agreements and refraining from unilateral attempts to change status quo,” said MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi. The official was responding to a recent remark by then Chinese foreign minister-designate Qin Gang in an op-ed that “both sides are willing to ease the situation and jointly protect peace along their borders”. Despite 17 rounds of talks between the senior commanders, India and China are yet to fully resolve the military standoff in eastern Ladakh that started in April-May, 2000. During his visit to Austria this week, foreign minister S.Jaishankar had again accused China of not following bilateral agreements meant to ensure boarder peace “When Countries have agreements,they have to obide by those agreements,If countries have differences.But if it becomes a situation where one side says:I will deploy troops against deals that I signed my self,then there is kind o messages in it for the international community.In this respect,the International Community should of course be Concerned”Said Jainshankar in an Interview in Vienna recently. He was answering the question of whether war is possible between India and China “You are aware of our longstanding position that ensuring peace and stability in the boarder areas is important for the development of our realationshipo”said MEA Spokesman Arindam Bagchi.
