NEW DELHI: India on Thursday dismissed China’s objection to the joint Indo-US navy train close to the Line of Actual Control in Uttarakhand’s Auli, saying it didn’t give a veto to 3rd nations on these points.
Hitting again at China, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi stated the joint workout routines with the US in Auli has nothing to do with the 1993 and 1996 agreements with China.
“But since these were raised by the Chinese side, I must emphasise that the Chinese side needs to reflect and think about its own breach of the agreements of 1993 and 1996,” Bagchi stated responding to questions on the weekly briefing of the ministry.
“India exercises with whomever it chooses to and it does not give a veto to third countries on these issues,” the External Affairs Ministry spokesperson stated.
The 1993 settlement offers with sustaining peace and tranquility alongside the LAC with China within the India-China Border Areas, whereas the 1996 pact was about confidence-building measures within the navy subject alongside the LAC with China within the India-China Border Areas.

On Wednesday, China stated it was against the joint Indo-US navy workout routines and claimed that it violated the spirit of the 2 border agreements signed between New Delhi and Beijing.
The 18th version of the India-US joint navy train ‘Yudh Abhyas’ is presently underway in Auli, about 100 km from the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
To questions on protests in elements of China towards extended lockdowns and isolations to include Covid, Bagchi stated he wouldn’t touch upon particular Covid methods pursued by any nation.
“We would hope that humanity as a whole is able to emerge fully from Covid at the earliest. But insofar as specific Covid strategies that each country may be pursuing, I might not like to get into that. Just like to hope that we are able to come out of Covid,” he stated.
