May 09, 2015 00:43

Days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's maiden China visit, the Pentagon today told the US Congress that despite improved political and economic relations between the two Asian giants, India-China border tensions remain.

"Despite increases in China-India political and economic relations, tensions remain along their shared 4,057-km border, most notably over Arunachal Pradesh (which Beijing asserts is part of Tibet and therefore of China), and over the Aksai Chin region at the western end of the Tibetan Plateau," the Pentagon said in its latest report to the Congress.
