New Delhi 03 December 2022

As per news report of NDTV, "I would point you to the comments by my Indian colleagues, that it's none of their (China's) business," said Elizabeth Jones, the US Charge d' Affaires in India, in a roundtable with journalists on Friday.  After China said the exercises in Auli — it happens to be around 100 km from the border — violates the spirit of two border agreements, the Indian foreign ministry responded sharply on Thursday: "India exercises with whomsoever it chooses to and we do not give veto to third countries on this issue." Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the joint exercises have "nothing to do with the 1993 and 1996 agreements" with China. "Since these were raised by the Chinese side, let me emphasise that the Chinese side needs to reflect and think about its own breach of these agreements of 1993 and 1996," Mr Bagchi said, responding to questions on the issue.
