There has been a “high level of military tension” with China over the last three years, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said, characterising the overall state of “very abnormal” relations between New Delhi and Beijing since the border clashes of 2020.
“If you look at the last three years, it’s a very abnormal state. The contacts have been disrupted. Visits are not taking place. We have, of course, this high level of military tension,” Dr. Jaishankar told an audience in New York during a conversation with former U.S. Ambassador to India Kenneth Juster at the Council of Foreign Relations.
