India Reiterates Arunachal Position After PM Modi’s Visit to Northeastern State Invites China Warning

New Delhi on Saturday reiterated that Arunachal Pradesh is an “integral and inalienable part of India” after China objected to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the northeastern state.

“The State of Arunachal Pradesh is an integral & inalienable part of India. Indian leaders visit Arunachal Pradesh from time to time, as they visit other parts of India,” read a statement from MEA.

China’s position on the China-India boundary question is consistent and clear-cut,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said. “The Chinese government has never recognized the so-called “Arunachal Pradesh” and is firmly opposed to the Indian leader’s visit to the East Section of China-India boundary,” she said.

Despite recent efforts to improve bilateral ties in both countries, disputes over the mountainous Indo-China border — which triggered a war in 1962 — and the region that China claims as southern Tibet have remained a sensitive issue.

“China urges the Indian side to proceed from the overall situation of bilateral relations, respect China’s interests and concerns, cherish the momentum of improving relations between the two countries, and refrain from any actions that intensify disputes and complicate the border issue,” the country’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

Prime Minister Modi today inaugurated and laid foundation stone of projects in Arunachal Pradesh worth over Rs 4,000 crore and said his government was giving a lot of importance to improve connectivity in the border state.

Modi said his government was giving importance to improve the highway, railway, airway and power situation in Arunachal Pradesh, which was neglected by the previous governments.
