‘Events along LAC very disturbing…’: Jaishankar on border standoff with China

Updated on Dec 12, 2020 07:11 pm IST

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said India was being tested in the seven-month-long border standoff with China in eastern Ladakh and expressed confidence that the country will meet the national security challenge. Calling the “events” along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh “very disturbing”, Jaishankar also said what has happened there was not in China's interest as it is facing the prospect of losing goodwill in India that was developed carefully in the recent decades. He said these events have raised some very “basic concerns” as the “other party” has not abided by agreements on respecting the LAC. Watch the full video for more details.
