India rejected attempts by China to claim some parts of Indian controlled territories, highlighting yet another flash-point between the neighbours.
“Arunachal Pradesh is, has been, and will always be part an integral and inalienable part of India,†said a statement of the Ministry of External Affairs.
Beijing issued maps and names of 11 places as part of its southern Tibetan region of Zangan that borders eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh — an area controlled by India.
This is the third such list issued by China’s Civil Affairs Ministry claiming places inside Indian controlled territory. The first list of six places was released in 2017, and the second list of 15 places inside Indian controlled territory was issued in 2021.
The region had witnessed majority of the fighting in the 1962 India- China war. One third of the disputed 3,488 kilometer boundary runs along the India controlled Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh, which is also claimed by of Beijing.
