Amid border issue, China shouldn't expect other aspects to move ahead normally: EAM Jaishankar

Amid a stand off at the border, China should not expect other relations to move on normally, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday.

Diplomacy continues and sometimes solutions to difficult situations do not come in haste, he said while speaking on ‘Bharat’s Rise in Geopolitics’ at an event here, during which he took questions from the audience.

He said the borders between India and China are not mutually agreed and it was decided that both sides would not amass troops and would keep the other informed about their movements, but the neighbouring nation violated this agreement in 2020.
