Border face-off shadows PM Modi's talks with Chinese President Xi
  • 5 years ago
Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised with visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping the latest incursions by his country's soldiers into Indian territory on Wednesday. 1,000 soldiers each from India and China are locked in an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation at the border after the worst Chinese transgression in years, unusually at a time President Xi is in Delhi.

"Yesterday the issues of substance have been raised at the highest level," foreign ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said, adding that India will raise the incursions more extensively during talks today.

Sources say the situation is under control and there is "nothing to panic" about. The Chinese have reportedly been halted and pushed back.

Nearly 1,000 armed Chinese troops crossed about five km into Indian territory yesterday, intensifying a stare-down that has been building up in the past two weeks in Ladakh's Chumur sector.
