GBDESK//
India today said its relations with China cannot be normal if peace and tranquillity in border areas is disturbed.
“I think the issue is that there is an abnormal position in border areas,” he said, adding “we had a frank discussion about it. We have to take the disengagement process forward,” Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told a media briefing in Benaulim in the coastal state of Goa.
His comments came a day after holding talks with his Chinese counterpart Qin Gang in Goa, reports our New Delhi correspondent.
Troops of India and China are in eyeball-to-eyeball situation in certain friction points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the de factor border that runs through the mighty Himalayas in eastern Ladakh for the fourth consecutive year.
Jaishankar and Qin held bilateral talks on Thursday on the sidelines of a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Goa. This was the second meeting between the two foreign ministers in the last two months. The Chinese foreign minister had visited India in March to attend a meeting of the G20 foreign ministers.
