NEW DELHI/BEIJING: As fresh tension erupted between Indian and Chinese troops in eastern Ladakh, China on Tuesday hoped disengagement can be achieved at the earliest through mutual consultations, flagging approaching harsh winter in the region.
Chinese Foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian expressed this hope hours after India and China accused each other of firing in the air near the Pangong lake at the Line of Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh on Monday.
The Indian Army said Chinese troops fired shots in the air and attempted to close in on an Indian position in eastern Ladakh on Monday as it rejected charges by China’s People’s Liberation Army(PLA) that it transgressed across the LAC.
The remarks by the Army came after the PLA late on Monday night alleged that the Indian troops crossed the LAC and “outrageously fired” warning shots near the Pangong lake.
The use of firearms along the LAC marks a serious escalation in border tensions as the previous instance of shots being fired at the de-facto border was in 1975.
Spokesman Zhao spoke about disengagement when asked at a media briefing about restoration of the status quo by disengaging the troops.
