Doklam chapter with India has been turned over: Chinese envoy

August 11, 2018 21:06

Nearly a year after the Doklam row strained ties between two nuclear-powered Asian giants India and China, Luo Zhaohui - the Chinese Ambassador to India - has now said that the Doklam chapter is now over and that two countries have reached a consensus to look forward.

Zhaohui said, "That page has already been turned over. We have reached a consensus to look forward. So that's why the Chinese Prime Minister (Xi Jinping) and Prime Minister of India (Narendra Modi) have met many a time this year."

The Chinese official further said that he was happy and optimistic about strong bilateral relations between the two countries.

The remarks from the Chinese envoy comes nearly a year after a military stand-off began between India and China after the latter's troops tried to construct a road at the disputed territory in violation of understandings arrived at by both countries.

The bitter military stand-off between the two powerful nations lasted for about 73 days.
