The Minister of Outdoor Affairs Jaishankar said April 9 that India and China were heading towards the “positive direction” in their ties. However, the Minister stated that it was necessary to work to normalize the relationship.
“I think we’re moving in a positive direction,” Jaishankar said, talking at the Bharat News 18 summit.
Relations between India and China rushed to their lowest point since the 1962 war to Galwan Valley in 2020. After a series of diplomatic and military interviews, both sides withdrew their troops from several friction along the real control line (LAC) in East Ladak.
In October last last last last, both parties lit a disconnection contract for Depsang and Demchok, the last two friction points in the eastern Ladak. “It is obviously better than the last time I was here.
Disconnection in Demchok and Depsang Plains in the eastern Ladakh sector observed agreements between the parties and the Indian units that have withdrawn in these areas since the beginning of October 2024.
A significant development came days after India and China reached a border agreement, which ended a four -year -old stalemate. Relations between the two countries were sour after the deadly clashes between the soldiers in June 2020, which left at least 20 Indians and the unknown number of Chinese dead.
Days after the agreement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke in Kazan and made a number of decisions to improve custody.
“Problems on the border remained”
Jaishankar suggested on Wednesday that the problems on the border remained to some extent because the strength had been built over the years.
“But in this period many other things happened, which also happened that some of them were to ensure the situation; some of them were actually the transmission from the Covid era. For example, our direct flights stopped during Covid, were not restored,” he said.
“Kailash Mansarovar Yatra stopped during Covid. It failed again. I think we need to do a job. We’re there,” he said, adding that both sides look into these problems.
Last month, India and China examined ways to re -build ties, and agreed to start the efforts to promote people’s exchanges, including the renewal of direct flights and continuing this year Kailash Manasarovar Yatra.
It is obviously better than the last time I was here.
