Beijing: China virtually rejected Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposal to clarify positions on the Line of Actual Control and said it prefers an agreement on a code of conduct to maintain peace along the border.
Outlining China’s first public reaction to the PM’s proposal, deputy director-general of Asian affairs at the foreign ministry Huang Xilian said previous attempts to clarify mutual positions on the LAC had “encountered difficulties”.
“Whatever we do in the border area it should be constructive. That means it should be a building block for negotiations not stumbling block,” he said, replying to a question.
