The comments show a difference in the way New Delhi and Beijing view the way forward for normal recovery in relationships
Maintaining peace and calm in border areas is "an important basis" for furthering India-China relations, India's ambassador to China Vikram Egypt said on Monday.
There needs to be a "respect for concern and empathy and priorities for each other", Egypt said in an interview with Chinese think tanks and universities south of the city of Guangzhou, according to a statement from the Indian Ambassador to Beijing.
Mr. Egypt said in an interview last week hosted by the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) and the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA), "there was a tendency in some areas to sweep the floor under carpet and visibility. .
"Again, this is not possible because it can move away from a sustainable solution to present complexity and depth into the problem of non-fulfillment," he said. "In fact, it would be like escaping the crisis and moving towards where there is a promise of our partnership and development."
Negotiations between the military commanders appear to be unstoppable due to continued cuts in the Gogra and Hot Springs areas after the completion of the first phase in Pangong Lake. Chinese state media reported on Monday that the People's Liberation Army had "sent a high-level rocket launcher to the Himalayas".
"It is the first time that the PLA has confirmed the deployment of long-range rocket systems across the border with India," the South China Morning Post quoted a report in the first paper of a PLA Daily official as saying, adding that " exercise using a rocket system during fully combat training ”.
The Indian ambassador's comments highlighted the difference in the way New Delhi and Beijing viewed the way forward for normal recovery in the relationship. In a similar speech, Sun Weidong, China's ambassador to India, said "what has happened in the last few decades has repeatedly shown that highlighting differences will not help solve problems".
"On the contrary, it will undermine trust," he said. “The border dispute is a real one and should be taken seriously and taken seriously. However, the question of borders is not a whole issue of China-India relations and should be put in the right place in bilateral relations. ”
Mr. Egypt, however, said that both countries "have worked out detailed mechanisms and frameworks for border control and contingency management" and "despite repeated inspections, these processes and structures have helped to maintain all the important peace and stability at the border, thus helping to create an environment where -India and China have grown exponentially between 1988 and 2019 ”.
"We are tempted today to remember this moment with joy, and to argue that we should end our differences and things should go back to the way they were," he said. “However, we must acknowledge that these facilitation structures and the basis for close co-operation are under great pressure from serious incidents and breaches of the Peace and Control Line in Mpumalanga Ladakh in April 2020 and beyond. ”
The two envoys also contributed diversity to the unity of many countries. Mr. Sun said, "China and India must exercise international unity, adhere to the aims and objectives of the UN Charter, and promote the international system with the United Nations in its context and international order based on international law" and "mandate" small gatherings. "proximity to export", a term some Chinese experts have used to refer to groups such as Quad.
Mr. Egypt said, "In a world of change and change, more cohesion is more important than ever, in the Indo-Pacific and beyond" and "in a multi-country country, no country can set the agenda alone without agreement and negotiation, and then expect everyone else to step in."
