New delhi date. December 3, 2019, Tuesday

Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh said on Tuesday that a Chinese research ship had arrived in the Andaman and Nicobar area, though it was later discharged as there was no right to enter the area.

Karambir Singh said that if China or any country wants to enter our area, then first we have to officially seek our permission and inform us.

The Navy Chief said no one would be allowed to enter without permission. On December 4, just before the Navy day, the Navy Chief placed whatever hurdles China had going through the sea with the country. "Before entering our economic zone (EZ), we need to be informed," he said.

According to the United Nations Convention's Maritime Law, an area of ​​200 nautical miles from the coast of any country to the sea will be known as an Exclusive Economic Zone, and the area, which belongs to that country, will receive every kind of right in this area.

The Navy Chief said the Chinese ship Shi Yan-1 was found near Port Blair in September. However, he was later told to leave.

He said the Navy is currently closely monitoring any Chinese infiltration in the Indian Ocean. According to the Navy Chief, about seven to eight Chinese ships have been found in the Indian Ocean.

Most of these ships engage in illegal pirate activity and sea mining activity. India is set to conduct a military exercise in the eastern part of the sea along with 41 countries next year.

However, China has not been invited. The Navy Chief said that those countries who have the same mentality as India and agree with it have been invited. There was no such activity with China, so he was not invited.
