August 28, 2017 21:40

The ministry of external affairs on Monday said that the process of disengagement of Indian and Chinese troops at Doklam has almost been completed under verification.

In a statement, the ministry said that the two countries had agreed in June itself that the differences should not be allowed to escalate into disputes and that India-China relations must remain stable.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Kazakhstan capital Astana on June 9. The two had underscored the need to respect each other's core concerns and appropriately handle all disagreements.

The MEA further said that India's principled position has been that agreements and understandings reached on boundary issues must be scrupulously respected. "Peace and tranquility at the border are an essential pre-requisite for further development of bilateral ties between India and China," the statement read.
