Indo-China neighbor, peace needed for mutual benefit: Chinese Defense Minister

New delhi date. 12. June. Sunday 2022

The tone of China, which has been at loggerheads with India, has suddenly changed.

"China and India are neighbors and good relations between the two countries are in each other's interest. The two countries are working together for peace," said Chinese Defense Minister Wei Feng.

Speaking at a seminar in Singapore, Wei Feng said, "China and India are neighbors and therefore good relations are needed between the two countries. We have 15 rounds of dialogue with India. Working.

Feng was responding to a question from Tanvi Madan, director of the American think tank Tanvi Madan, who asked why two years ago the Chinese military had taken unilateral action with India to change the status quo in many places along the Line of Actual Control. The first clash between the two countries' armies was later witnessed in the area.

Tensions between the two countries over the Ladakh border have been high since 2020 due to China's aggressive stance and thousands of troops are currently stationed in the area against each other.
