China has said it is in communication and negotiations with India on lowering tension along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) through military and diplomatic channels.

“No party should engage in any action that may escalate the situation,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian shortly after PM Modi arrived in Ladakh today.

In response to a question about India’s additional scrutiny of imports from China due to the recent border dispute, Zhao said, “Artificial blocks to bilateral cooperation violated the rules of the WTO and would harm India’s interests.” — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
