External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday (local time) described the problem with China as an « intense challenge » and took a dig at Pakistan and said that the problem of cross-border terrorism from Islamabad is still continuing.
While interacting with the Indian diaspora in Vienna, Jaishankar said, « Now, I spoke to you about the changes in governance. Let me also say that there have been obvious in this period, very profound changes in our national security. And a lot of that, of course, is centred around more intense challenges that we face on our northern border with China. I think most of you would be familiar with that. »
« We continue to have, of course, the problem of cross-border terrorism with Pakistan, » he added.
Indian and Chinese soldiers clashed along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Tawang sector on December 9. This face-off led to minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides.
PLA troops tried to transgress the LAC in the Yangtse area of the Tawang Sector and unilaterally change the status quo.
