India's foreign ministry accused China of causing the tensions by starting military deployments, and warned relations could be undermined if the standoff continues.
India acknowledged for the first time Thursday that it has matched China in massing troops at their contested Himalayan border region after a deadly clash this month.
While each has said it wants to de-escalate the territorial showdown, India's foreign ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said"both sides remain deployed in large numbers in the region, while military and diplomatic contacts are continuing". He added that China had obstructed India's patrols in contravention of accords made to avoid skirmishes between their armies, who fought a border war in 1962 and have regularly clashed since.
