TIL Desk/World/Beijing/ China has expressed its firm opposition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh, which Beijing claims as its own, and said the Indian side should not take any action that could complicate the boundary issue. “China’s position on the China-India boundary question is consistent and clear-cut,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang in response to Modi’s day-long visit to the state.
“The Chinese government has never recognised the so-called Arunachal Pradesh and is firmly opposed to the Indian leader’s visit to the disputed area,” Geng said. “We will lodge stern representations with the Indian side.””The Chinese side urges the Indian side to honour its commitment and abide by the relevant consensus and refrain from taking any action that may complicate the boundary question,” Geng said.
He urged India to cherish the momentum of improvements in bilateral relations and create enabling conditions for the boundary talks and the development of bilateral relations. China voices anger whenever an Indian minister or foreign dignitary visits Arunachal Pradesh. Last year, ties between New Delhi and Beijing took a hit when Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama visited Arunachal Pradesh.
