Almaty. August 25. Silkroadnews – China has criticized India’s building roads near undemarcated boundary, Chinese information portal Sina.com reported.
“India’s road building near an undemarcated boundary reveals a contradiction between what India says and what it does, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Thursday”, the report said.
It is noted that a few days after Indian and Chinese soldiers pelted each other with stones at Pangong Lake in Ladakh, the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs approved the construction of a road from Marsimika La to Hot Springs. Marsimik La in Ladakh is located about 20 km from the north-western tip of Pangong Lake.
The Ministry of Home Affairs of India has asked the Border Roads Organization to build a road to provide access to vantage points for security reasons.
According to Hua Chunying, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, reports about this “once again proved that India had been inconsistent and self-contradictory in resolving the Sino-Indian border issue”. She said that India used the security issues as an excuse to prevent China from building roads on its own territory.
At the same time, Hua explained that the western part of the China-Indian border was not demarcated, and both countries have agreed to support peace in the border areas before the issue is finally resolved. She said, India’s construction of military infrastructure near the western part of the so-called actual control line does not contribute to preserving peace and stability in the western part of the border, as well as does not help to ease the current tensions between the two sides.
