China Relations Strained by Border Dispute, Says Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar emphasizes the need for disengagement and de-escalation to restore peace and stability.

The 2020 Galwan Valley clash has significantly disrupted India-China relations, overshadowing other aspects of their bilateral ties.
Jaishankar highlighted that 75% of the disengagement issues have been resolved, but patrolling and de-escalation remain key challenges.
Both nations have deployed large numbers of troops along the Line of Actual Control, complicating efforts to restore peace.
The minister stressed that resolving border tensions is crucial for the broader relationship and the future of Asia's multipolarity.
Despite the ongoing border issues, India maintains a positive strategic view of its relationship with the United States and continues to engage with Russia.
