## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS [SHRI V. MURALEEDHARAN]

(a) to (d) Since   April/May   2020   the   Chinese   side   had   made   several attempts to unilaterally alter the status quo along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Western Sector. These attempts have been responded to appropriately by our armed forces. It has been made clear to the Chinese side that such unilateral attempts are unacceptable. These actions have seriously disturbed the peace and tranquility along the LAC in the Western Sector.

In this regard, External Affairs Minister had a telephone conversation with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on 17 June 2020. Further, External Affairs   Minister   had   a   physical   meeting   with   Chinese   Foreign   Minister Wang Yi on 10 September 2020 in Moscow. The two Foreign Ministers agreed that the current situation in the border areas is not in the interest of either side. They agreed therefore that the border troops of both sides should   continue   their   dialogue,   quickly   disengage,   maintain   proper distance and ease tensions. The two Foreign Ministers also agreed that

both sides shall abide by all the existing agreements and protocol on China-India boundary affairs, maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas and avoid any action that could escalate matters.

In order to ensure complete disengagement from all friction points and full restoration of peace and tranquility in the India-China Border Areas, diplomatic and military engagements with the Chinese side have continued. Six meetings of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China border affairs (WMCC) and nine meetings of the Senior Commanders have been held so far.

Government   will   continue   discussions   with   the   Chinese   side   to achieve   the   objective   of   disengagement   from   all   friction   points   and restoration of peace and tranquility in the India-China Border Areas at an early date.
