| Soldiers firing mortars artillery in Galvan Valley during India-China clash in Ladakh. |
On Thursday, India warned China against making exaggerated and irrefutable claims in the Galvan Valley region until the two countries tried to end the stalemate in the Himalayan region where their troops are involved in a deadly clash.
Twenty Indian soldiers were killed in Monday's clash, the deadliest conflict between the two sides in 45 years. China has not disclosed whether its forces have suffered any casualties.
In response to China's claim in the Valley, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said the two sides agreed to handle the situation responsibly.
'Making exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims contradicts this understanding,' he said in a statement.
The two sides accused each other of fomenting clashes between their forces in the valley, which is part of the disputed Ladakh region in the Himalayan border region.
China has maintained its position that these Indian troops deliberately provoked and attacked its officers, although it has indicated that it is willing to negotiate, noting the importance of broader bilateral relations. What
In a meeting with his Indian counterpart, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Xiao Lijian quoted Foreign Minister Wang Yi as saying that "mutual respect and support serve our long-term interests" while the two emerging nations are fully committed to them. Trying to realize progress.
He said in a daily briefing, "After this incident, China and India made contacts and contacts through military and diplomatic channels." Both sides agreed to deal fairly with the serious incidents arising out of the conflict in the Galvan Valley. , And agreed to calm the situation as soon as possible. "
Meanwhile, on Thursday, an Indian confederation of small and medium-sized companies called for a boycott of 500 Chinese goods, including toys and textiles, to express "strong criticism" of China's alleged aggression in Ladakh.
The boycott came after protests in New Delhi on Wednesday when protesters destroyed items they said were made in China under the slogan "Get out of China".
The Himalayan conflict has already fueled anti-Chinese sentiment over the coronavirus.
More than 366,000 deaths and 12,200 deaths have been reported in India.
But if the massive boycott chooses to retaliate by banning the export of used raw materials from India's pharmaceutical industry to India, they may retaliate for India.
Media reports said senior army officers from both sides met on Wednesday to try to defuse the situation, but there was no confirmation from either side.
Indian security forces said there was no shelling from either side, instead of throwing stones and blowing up commercial strikes. Indian troops, including a colonel, died of severe injuries and exposure to sub-zero temperatures in the area, officials said.
The clashes escalated intermittently in the disputed region, which began in early May, when Indian officials said Chinese troops were crossing the border at three different locations, setting up tents and guard posts and ignoring evacuation warnings.
He started shouting matches, throwing stones, and fighting fists, most of which went on television news channels and social media.
The Chinese Foreign Minister warned New Delhi not to lose sight of its commitment to protecting Beijing as an autonomous region. His comments came over the phone with his Indian counterpart, Subramaniam Jaishankar, on Wednesday.
Wang said China demanded that India conduct a full investigation and punish those responsible.
Jaishankar thusly blamed China for setting up a structure in the Galvan Valley, which he depicted as a deliberate move that was solely liable for the violence and killings.
He added that the incident would have a "serious response" to India's relations with China, but that both sides were determined to deviate further on the remote plateau of the Himalayan region.
Although experts say the war between the two countries is unlikely to escalate, they also believe tensions will soon escalate.
China claims about 90,000 sq km in northeastern India, while India claims 38,000 sq km on the Aksai Chin Plateau in the Himalayas, a contiguous part of the Ladakh region. ۔
Separating from occupied Kashmir in August 2019, India unilaterally declared Ladakh a federal territory.
China was among the handful of countries that strongly condemned the move, raising its voice in international forums, including the UN Security Council.
Established after the 1962 war between India and China, the border has seen thousands of troops on both sides of the Line of Actual Control over a period of 3,380 km in a month.
