India-China: Speaking at a weekly presser, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the two sides should stick to agreements of the past.
As China opposes the third party meddling in the India-China border issue in reference to India-US joint military drills Yudh Abhyas, India on Thursday said that military exercise near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is "totally different".
Speaking at a weekly presser, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the two sides should stick to agreements of the past.
"I don't understand the reference to third-party interference. India US exercise is totally different and I don't know what colour has been given to that. It is targeted and a violation of agreements," he said.
China on Thursday strongly opposed the war games scheduled between India and the US near the disputed Sino-India border in October, stating that it is an interference in the bilateral boundary issue and a violation of agreements between New Delhi and Beijing that no military drill will be held near the Line of Actual Control(LAC).
