Rajnath Singh said both India and China in talks to resolve ongoing border dispute in Ladakh
Reportedly Defence minister Rajnath Singh on thursday said india and china have achieved a broad consensus on patrolling and grazing to traditional areas in a step towards resolving differences along the Line of Actual Control.Meanwhile Singh said both the countries have been involved in talks at diplomatic and military levels to resolve the ongoing data-border dispute in Ladakh since 2020-21. Speaking at the chanakya Defence Dialogue 2024, he described the pact reached between the two countries as a “significant development” that underscores the importance of defence dialogue on the global stage. He said “India and china have been involved in talks both at diplomatic and military levels to resolve their differences in certain areas along the LAC. Pursuant to the talks, broad consensus has been achieved to restore ground situation based on the principles of equal and mutual security”.Moreover he further said while security is often associated with data-border protection, it was beyond defence and involved policy analysis to further strengthen the overall security. He added “Security is often associated with data-border protection. When we think of security, images of soldiers stationed at data-borders, aircraft patrolling the skies, and naval ships guarding the seas typically come to mind. However, as you all know, security extends far beyond data-border defence”.
