We have informed both India and China that the United States is ready, willing and able to mediate or arbitrate their now raging border dispute. Thank you!
“India is trying to ensure that this tension does not escalate. Engagements are on with China both at the military and diplomatic level. Even china has said it wants to settle this via dialogue,” Rajnath Singh said.
He said the country must remain assured that the government will never compromise with the country’s honour. “India has always tried to maintain a peaceful relation with its neighbours. We do not seek to challenge any nation.”
