New Delhi [India], October 23 (ANI): As India and China have reached an agreement on the patrolling arrangements along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Communist Party of India (CPI) leader D Raja said that both the countries are neighbours and they must see that borders remain peaceful, with no military tensions or conflicts.
While talking to ANI, D Raja said emphasized finding an “acceptable solution” through dialogue.
He said, “I did propose that both India and China should go back to the 2020 April situation that will lead to further de-escalation of tension on borders. India and China are neighbors and they must see that borders remain peaceful, with no military tensions or conflicts. Whatever problem is there, both countries should have mutual trust. There must be dialogue. Through dialogue, they must try to find an acceptable solution. The dialogue can be at the diplomatic level. Dialogue can be at the government level. The dialogue can be at the political level.”
“That is the first initiative. If both countries agree, that will pave the way for further advance in the establishment of peace and normalcy on our borders,” the CPI leader added.
On October 21, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced that an agreement had been reached regarding patrolling arrangements along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the India-China border area.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri addressed the media, stating, “This agreement is the outcome of extensive discussions over the past several weeks with Chinese interlocutors at both diplomatic and military levels.” He noted that military commanders have been involved in negotiations aimed at addressing the tensions that have persisted since 2020.
