Sovereignty of Galwan Valley area has always belonged to China: Chinese Foreign Ministry

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lijian Zhao on June 17 said that the sovereignty of the Galwan Valley area has always belonged to China and the Indian border troops seriously violated Chinese border protocols on border-related issues and the consensus of our commander level talks.

"The sovereignty of the Galwan Valley area has always belonged to China.

The Indian border troops flip-flopped and seriously violated our border protocols on border-related issues and the consensus of our commander level talks," said Zhao.

"We ask India to strictly discipline its frontline troops, stop infringing and provocative activity at once, work with China and come back to the right track of resolving the differences through dialogue and talk," he added.
