The recent tension on the border between China and India, which has killed 20 Indian soldiers, has drawn attention to the history of the seven-decade-old border conflict between the two Asian giants.
The armed confrontation in the border area between the two countries in mid-June was the first and the most violent between the two countries since 1975.
In 1993, Beijing and New Delhi signed an agreement to disarm patrols on the border between the two countries.
On Tuesday, against the backdrop of the recent armed confrontation between the two sides, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that Indian soldiers seriously violated the consensus between the two countries by illegally crossing the border illegally twice and carrying out provocative attacks on Chinese soldiers.
Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said his country believes in dialogue as a way to maintain peace and stability in the border region and to resolve differences with China in this regard.
