Situation along LAC stable, can be resolved through dialogue, says China

Tensions have escalated along the LAC in the last few weeks following skirmishes between Indian and Chinese troops

Noting that the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is "stable and controllable", China on Monday said both diplomatic and military communication channels are open between the two countries on the border issue and expressed the belief that the two sides can properly resolve it through dialogue.

"Currently the overall situation along the China-India border is stable and controllable. Both diplomatic and military communication channels between China and India on the border issue are open," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a press briefing.
