The current situation at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) has arisen due to the disregard of written agreements by China not to mass soldiers at the border, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Saturday.
Speaking at a joint press conference along with his Australian counterpart Marise Payne, Mr. Jaishankar further said when a large country disregards written commitments, it's an issue of legitimate concern for the entire international community.
The minister made the comments in response to a question on the eastern Ladakh border standoff between the Indian and Chinese militaries.
