The 3,500 km long real control line (LAC) is the de facto border between India and China
The United Nations:
While President Donald Trump tweeted that the United States is ready to “arbitrate” between India and China to end its “rampant border conflict,” a UN spokesperson said. does not belong to the secretary-general “to opine” who should arbitrate the situation, but exhorted that all the parties concerned should avoid any action likely to aggravate the tensions.
In a surprise decision, President Trump proposed on Wednesday to “arbitrate or arbitrate the raging border dispute between India and China”, saying he is “ready, willing and able” to ease tensions, amid the persistent deadlock between the armies of the two Asian giants at the real line of control (LAC).
“… It would be for the parties concerned to decide who they would like to mediate, not for us to give our opinion. We are obviously examining the situation and we urge all parties concerned to avoid any action that would make the situation even more tense” said Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the Secretary-General, on Wednesday.
Dujarric was asked about tensions on the India-China border and the concerns of the United Nations and the Secretary-General. He was also asked if the Secretary General thought that President Donald Trump would make a good mediator in the situation.
The actual control line or LAC, nearly 3,500 km long, is the de facto border between India and China. Several areas along the LAC in Ladakh and North Sikkim have recently seen a significant military accumulation of the Indian and Chinese armies, in a clear signal of intensification of the tensions and hardening of the respective positions by the two parties, even two weeks after their engagement. two separate face-offs.
India said the Chinese military is hampering normal patrols of its troops along the LAC in Ladakh and Sikkim and has firmly refuted Beijing’s claim that the escalation of tensions between the two armies has been triggered by an intrusion of Indian forces on the Chinese side.
“Any suggestion that Indian troops have undertaken activities throughout the LAC region in the western sector or the Sikkim sector is not correct. Indian troops are fully aware of the alignment of the effective line of control in the Indo-Chinese border areas and comply with them scrupulously. “, Foreign Ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said last week.
