In Lok Sabha, Jaishankar lists 3 key ground rules for engaging with China

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: India said on Tuesday it is committed to engaging China to find a fair and mutually acceptable framework for settling the boundary issue, but made it clear that the Line of Actual Control must be strictly respected and the status quo in the border areas must not be unilaterally altered. The statement, which dwelt at length on the circumstances that triggered the face-off between Indian and Chinese troops in the Ladakh sector in April-May 2020 and the history of the border conflict, was the first comprehensive outlining of the Indian government’s position since the two sides reached the agreement on October 21 to address the two remaining “friction points” at Demchok and Depsang. Referring to India’s expectation regarding the direction of ties with China in future, Jaishankar said the relationship “progressed in many domains, but was obviously negatively affected by recent events”. He added: “In my recent meeting with Wang Yi, we reached an understanding that the Special Representatives and the foreign secretary-level mechanisms will be convening soon.” Two days after the agreement on patrolling arrangements, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on the margins of the Brics Summit in the Russian city of Kazan on October 23 and decided to reactivate several mechanisms to resolve the boundary issue and normalise bilateral relations. Jaishankar reiterated India’s stated position that bilateral ties had been “abnormal” since 2020, when peace in the border areas was disturbed by Chinese actions.
