She said the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops always patrolled along the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

“The Chinese side is committed to peace and tranquillity of the China-India border,” she said.

“We urge the Indian side to abide by the LAC and relevant conventions between the two sides,” she said.

The skirmish in Ladakh comes at a time when India and China are locked in a face-off in the Doklam area of the Sikkim sector. The standoff has been ongoing for more than 50 days, after Indian troops stopped the Chinese Army from constructing a road in the area.

India has protested against the construction of a road by the Chinese military in the area claimed by its ally Bhutan, fearing it would allow Beijing to cut off India’s access to its northeastern states. PTI
