Dear Mr. Jinping & Modi, the China-India conflict is getting hotter!

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government told China that bilateral relations between the two countries will recover when the two countries withdraw their troops from confrontation on the Himalayan border.

Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said this when he met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Dushanbe conference on Thursday (16/9).

“Discussing issues in our border area. We realize that it is very important to discuss peace, tranquility, which is the basis for creating bilateral relations,” wrote Jainshankar through his official Twitter account, quoted Saturday (18/9/2021).

For information, thousands of Indian and Chinese soldiers have been involved in confrontations in the Western Himalayas since last year, when a decades-old border dispute erupted.

In June last year, tensions between the two countries resulted in a hand-to-hand combat that resulted in casualties on both sides, the first in decades.

After a series of negotiations between their respective commanders, the two armies withdrew to several parts of the border, including Pangong Tso Lake, a contested area near the site of last year’s clashes.

“China has always handled the China-India border issue well, and positively,” Wang said, as reported by Al Jazeera.

“[Kedua belah pihak] work together to maintain peace and tranquility in border areas, and stop such incidents from recurring,” he explained.

For information, China led by President Xi Jinping and India itself have been fighting over their borders since 1962 and have never resolved the dispute.
