New Delhi: China says the Galvan Valley where Chinese and Indian troops were engaged in a deadly clash falls entirely within its territory, as Beijing blamed New Delhi for the June 15 military clash at the border that left 20 Indian soldiers dead.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in a statement on Friday that the Galvan Valley, which is part of the disputed Ladakh region, is located on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) – the de facto border between the two Asian rivals.
n the tweet, the foreign spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and other senior officials have claimed for the fifth time in 4 days that China has authority over the Galvan Valley. Simultaneously, the Chinese Foreign Spokesperson said that the Galvan Valley falls in the Chinese part of the Line of Actual Control. The Chinese guards have been patrolling there for many years and perform their duties. Not only this, China has also said that Indian soldiers are forcibly building roads and bridges here.
China has asked Indian soldiers to stop the work in this area by advising them. At the same time, the Indian government is saying that there will be no compromise on the LAC border.
