Tibet out of purview of India's new Consulate in China

May 20, 2015 19:58

India will soon be opening a new Consulate in China's Chengdu city, capital of Sichuan province but Tibet, which borders it will not come under its purview.

Under the agreement signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit last week, both China and India have agreed to open their third Consulate in each other's territory.

While India will open its Consulate in Chengdu, China will open its mission in Chennai, making debut in the South for the first time. However, the Chengdu Consulate will cover the areas of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou provinces and Chongqing municipality, according to the officials. Tibet, which is next door to Sichuan is conspicuously missing from its purview.
