The external affairs minister said violence had erupted in the eastern sector of the unmarked border between the two countries in December, but no one was killed.
New Delhi : External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said the situation between India and China in the western Himalayan range of Ladakh remains fragile and dangerous as the armed forces are deployed very close to each other in parts of the said range.
According to a Reuters report, 2020 Indian soldiers were martyred for the country when the two sides clashed in the region in mid-20. At the same time, more than 40 Chinese soldiers were killed or injured. But the situation has been calmed down through rounds of diplomatic and military talks.
The minister said violence had erupted in the eastern sector of the unmarked border between the two countries in December, but no one was killed.
"In my mind, the situation still remains very fragile because there are places where our deployment is very close and very dangerous in military assessment," Jaishankar said at the India Today Conclave.
