India says border peace remains essential as the Army and ITBP monitor Chinese activity and face-to-face patrols are handled through established protocols.
- On Tuesday, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal reiterated that Arunachal Pradesh is an "inalienable and integral part of India," following India's official identification of 27 locations on the Survey map to counter Beijing's naming attempts.
- India emphasized that maintaining peace and tranquillity along the 3,488-kilometer LAC is of "utmost importance," a point reiterated at the 36th Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination meeting held last week.
