New Delhi: A joint exercise between The Indian and US armies concluded in Uttarakhand’s Auli on Friday. China has objected to this exercise called ‘War Habits 2022’ in the land very close to the Line of Actual Control. On Thursday, New Delhi had dismissed the objection. This time, America expressed the same attitude. He said that China has nothing to do with this exercise.This is the 18th military exercise between the two countries.
Earlier, the Center had said that the main objective of this training is to exchange training and tactics between the soldiers of the two countries. But the Chinese Beijing is not taking this exercise well near the territory. Elizabeth Jones, a top American diplomat, has arrived in India. “I would like to reiterate India’s statement regarding China’s comments on the exercise. I want to say, even if it is not a headache for China.
”Earlier, India had also made similar comments on the issue. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi, at a week-long press conference, condemned China’s attitude and said, “I want to make it clear that our joint exercise with the US military in Auli has nothing to do with the 1993 or 1996 agreements.
But since China is objecting to this, in my opinion, China should consider whether they themselves are breaking this agreement or not. ”Relations between the two countries started deteriorating since the Chinese aggression in the Galwan Valley in June 2020. Despite repeated bilateral talks, the situation has not been resolved. In such a situation, there has been a debate again about the joint exercise of the Indo-US army. Which showed that Beijing is very uncomfortable with this exercise.
