Alipov said in a press conference on the results of the BRICS summit held last week in the Russian city of Kazan that the first meeting between the leaders of China and India in 5 years took place on the sidelines of the summit.
“We believe it is a very positive development for relations between India and China,” he said. We were very happy that this happened. “It has always been important and desirable for us that India and China maintain stable and good relations with each other, and maintain a dialogue that is beneficial and necessary for the security situation in the Eurasian space and for the world as a whole.”
He added: “I am talking about the Eurasian continent, because Russia, India, and China, we all live on one continent, which is the largest continent in the world. The prosperity and progress of this continent, which will certainly have global importance, can only be achieved on the condition of good relations between India and China in the first place, and Russia as the largest country on the continent. India and China are the main brands on the continent, and economic engines on the continent and in the world. “Good relations between them are necessary for the progress of the world as a whole.”
India and China have a long-standing territorial dispute over nearly 60,000 square kilometers in the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and a mountainous region north of Kashmir. The Line of Actual Control, which replaces the borders between the countries of this region, extends in the Ladakh region.
Last week, Indian Deputy Foreign Minister Vikram Misri said that India and China had reached an agreement on conducting patrols along the Line of Actual Control in the Ladakh region. For his part, a source in the Indian Ministry of Defense said that New Delhi and Beijing will complete the process of withdrawing forces along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh by the end of this month.
