India rejects China’s objection to Vice President’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh

India today strongly rejected the objection raised by China to the recently concluded visit of Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu to Arunachal Pradesh. India has said that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India.

In his response to the remarks of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson on the Vice President’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that Indian leaders regularly visit Arunachal Pradesh like other states of the country. He said that China’s comment on the visit of Indian leaders to Arunachal is inappropriate.

The Spokesperson said that India believes that China will soon resolve the remaining issues along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh.
