New Delhi: Sending across a strong message to his Chinese counterpart, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday said that the need of the hour was for the Chinese side to reassess its actions and take corrective steps.
Around 20 Indian soldiers have been killed in a violent face-off between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley.
In a telephonic interaction with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Jaishankar said “What happened in Galwan was premeditated and planned action by China which was responsible for the sequence of events.
This unprecedented development will have a serious impact on the bilateral relationship. Two sides should scrupulously and sincerely implement the understanding reached by Senior Commanders on June 6.”
“Troops of both sides should also abide by bilateral agreements and protocols. They should strictly respect and observe LAC and shouldn’t take any unilateral action to alter it,” the EAM said in a statement.
