India's Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has accused China, once again, of not abiding by past agreements and referred the events of this year as “disturbing, raised basic concerns”.
Jaishankar, speaking at the 93rd Annual General Meeting of the industry body FICCI, said that what has happened in Ladakh is not in the interest of China either.
“Other side violated agreements of past, it has seriously impacted public sentiments regarding China in India. The real danger is the goodwill which was so carefully developed will dissipate. However, I have confidence we will rise to the occasion”, Jaishankar said.

On Friday, India reiterated that the situation that has been ongoing for the last six months is a result of the actions of the Chinese side, which has sought to effect a unilateral change in status along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. The assertion comes a day after the Chinese Foreign Ministry again held India responsible for the border situation in eastern Ladakh.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Thursday blamed India for the border standoff while reacting to S. Jaishankar’s comments that bilateral ties have been “very significantly damaged” as China has given India "five differing explanations" for its actions in Ladakh.
