India facing ‘very complicated challenge’ from China, ensuring no attempt made to change status quo in border areas unilaterally: Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said India faces a "very complicated challenge" from China, and the Narendra Modi government has taken steps to ensure no attempts are made to change the status quo in the border areas unilaterally. This challenge was "very visible" in border areas in the last three years, Mr. Jaishankar said on Saturday, adding that both the countries have to find an equilibrium in relationship, but it cannot be on the terms of the other party. That challenge is a very complicated challenge, but in the last three years it has been particularly visible in the border areas," Mr. Jaishankar said, apparently referring to China's incursions in eastern Ladakh. India is also interacting with a group of countries to its West, such as Israel, United States and United Arab Emirates, Mr. Jaishankar said.
