TEHRAN (Iran News) – Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Monday that its troops have never crossed the Line of Actual Control (LAC) amid a China-India border standoff, after the Indian army said that China’s troops violated the previous consensus.

The Indian army said in a statement on Monday that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) “violated the previous consensus reached in previous military and diplomatic engagements and carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo” in the disputed eastern Ladakh region on the night of August 29/30.

It said Indian soldiers foiled the Chinese attempt.

During Monday’s daily briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian denied the latest accusation from India, saying Chinese troops always abide by the LAC.

Zhao said the two sides are maintaining diplomatic and military communications on the border dispute but he didn’t give more details on the talks, CGTN reported.

China blames India for escalation and has called on the Indian side to settle the dispute through military and diplomatic dialogue.
