BEIJING, China: The Chinese Defense Ministry has expressed concern over India’s plan to build 54 new border posts in Arunachal Pradesh.
In a media briefing in Beijing on Thursday, the Chinese defense ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said that India should not complicate the situation and do more to maintain peace as it is a disputed area.
“We have noticed relevant report. Dispute still exists in the eastern part of China-India border,” Yujin told media when asked about the plans announced by India to build 54 new border posts in Arunachal Pradesh.
“We urge the Indian side to do more to maintain peace and stability in the area and not do things that may complicate the situation,” the Chinese defense ministry spokesman said.
On October 24, the Union home minister Rajnath Singh announced setting up of 54 new border outposts and a Rs 175 crore package for beefing up the infrastructure along the border in Arunachal Pradesh.
