NEW<\/span> DELHI<\/span> ( Brussels Independent with AP)<\/span> –<\/span> The<\/span> situation<\/span> between<\/span> India<\/span> and<\/span> China<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> western<\/span> Himalayan<\/span> region<\/span> of<\/span> Ladakh<\/span> is<\/span> fragile<\/span> and<\/span> dangerous<\/span> with<\/span> troops<\/span> stationed<\/span> so<\/span> close<\/span> to<\/span> each<\/span> other<\/span> in<\/span> some<\/span> areas,<\/span> India’s<\/span> S.<\/span> Foreign<\/span> Minister<\/span> Jaishankar<\/span> said<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>At<\/span> least<\/span> 24<\/span> of<\/span> his<\/span> soldiers<\/span> died<\/span> when<\/span> the<\/span> two<\/span> sides<\/span> clashed<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> region<\/span> in<\/span> mid-2020,<\/span> but<\/span> a<\/span> round<\/span> of<\/span> diplomatic<\/span> and<\/span> military<\/span> talks<\/span> calmed<\/span> the<\/span> situation.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>In<\/span> December,<\/span> violence<\/span> erupted<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> borderless<\/span> eastern<\/span> region<\/span> between<\/span> the<\/span> nuclear-armed<\/span> Asian<\/span> giants,<\/span> with<\/span> no<\/span> casualties.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cThe<\/span> situation<\/span> remains<\/span> very<\/span> fragile<\/span> in<\/span> my<\/span> opinion,<\/span> as<\/span> our<\/span> operations<\/span> are<\/span> very<\/span> close<\/span> and<\/span> therefore<\/span> very<\/span> dangerous<\/span> from<\/span> a<\/span> military<\/span> point<\/span> of<\/span> view.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>He<\/span> said<\/span> relations<\/span> between<\/span> India<\/span> and<\/span> China<\/span> could<\/span> not<\/span> return<\/span> to<\/span> normal<\/span> until<\/span> the<\/span> border<\/span> dispute<\/span> was<\/span> resolved,<\/span> in<\/span> principle<\/span> in<\/span> line<\/span> with<\/span> the<\/span> September<\/span> 2020<\/span> agreement<\/span> he<\/span> signed<\/span> with<\/span> his<\/span> Chinese<\/span> counterpart.<\/span> \u201cChina<\/span> has<\/span> to<\/span> do<\/span> what<\/span> they<\/span> have<\/span> agreed<\/span> and<\/span> they<\/span> are<\/span> struggling<\/span> with<\/span> that.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Forces<\/span> on<\/span> both<\/span> sides<\/span> have<\/span> withdrawn<\/span> from<\/span> many<\/span> areas,<\/span> but<\/span> talks<\/span> are<\/span> ongoing<\/span> on<\/span> outstanding<\/span> issues,<\/span> Jaishankar<\/span> said.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cWe<\/span> have<\/span> made<\/span> it<\/span> clear<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span> Chinese<\/span> people<\/span> that<\/span> we<\/span> must<\/span> not<\/span> break<\/span> the<\/span> peace<\/span> and<\/span> tranquility,<\/span> that<\/span> we<\/span> must<\/span> not<\/span> break<\/span> the<\/span> agreement,<\/span> that<\/span> we<\/span> do<\/span> not<\/span> want<\/span> the<\/span> rest<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> relationship<\/span> to<\/span> continue<\/span> as<\/span> if<\/span> nothing<\/span> happened.<\/span>“<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Jaishankar<\/span> said<\/span> he<\/span> discussed<\/span> the<\/span> situation<\/span> with<\/span> China’s<\/span> new<\/span> foreign<\/span> minister,<\/span> Qin<\/span> Gang,<\/span> on<\/span> the<\/span> sidelines<\/span> of<\/span> his<\/span> G20<\/span> foreign<\/span> ministers’<\/span> meeting<\/span> hosted<\/span> by<\/span> India<\/span> this<\/span> month.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Referring<\/span> to<\/span> India’s<\/span> presidency<\/span> of<\/span> this<\/span> year’s<\/span> G20,<\/span> Jaishankar<\/span> expressed<\/span> hope<\/span> that<\/span> New<\/span> Delhi<\/span> could<\/span> make<\/span> the<\/span> Forum<\/span> “more<\/span> loyal<\/span> to<\/span> its<\/span> global<\/span> mission.”<\/span>
