THE MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS(SHRI S.M. KRISHNA)
(a) to (e) Government is aware of a meeting held by Deputy Commissioner Leh. China
disputes the International Boundary between India and China. There is no commonly delineated
Line of Actual Control (LAC) between the two countries. From time to time, on account of
differences in the perception of the LAC, situations have arisen on the ground that could
have been avoided if we had a common perception of the LAC. Government regularly takes up any
violation along the LAC with the Chinese side through established mechanisms including the
Joint Working Group, the Expert Group, border personnel meetings, flag meetings and diplomatic
channels. Government keeps a constant watch on all developments having a bearing on India’s
security and takes all necessary measures to safeguard it.
