'India, China should resolve border differences in a calm way'

January 29, 2018 18:22

India and China should look at their border differences, including over Doklam, in a "calm way" and resolve them through existing mechanisms, the Chinese foreign ministry said today.

Reacting to Indian Ambassador to China Gautam Bambawale's interview to Chinese daily the Global Times where he said the status quo should not be changed along the sensitive areas of the 3,488-km border, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said here that differences can be addressed through existing mechanisms.

"Indeed we have noted that the ambassador talked about it while addressing the issue," she said.

"I should say the two sides should look at border issues in a calm way and resolve relevant issues through the existing border-related mechanisms so that we can create conditions and enabling environment to properly solve our differences," she said.

Besides a mechanism to discuss border tensions, India and China also have special representative-level border talks to resolve the differences over the disputed border.
