The protest by New Delhi follows reports Beijing had released an official 'standard map' showing the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and the Aksai Chin plateau as its official territory
NEW DELHI, India – India said on Tuesday, August 29, that it had lodged a strong protest with China over a new map that lays claim to India’s territory, the latest irritant in testy ties between the Asian giants.
China claims Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern Himalayas to be a part of southern Tibet and had in April released a map renaming 11 places in the state as being within “Zangnan,” or southern Tibet in Chinese.“We have today lodged a strong protest through diplomatic channels with the Chinese side on the so-called 2023 ‘standard map’ of China that lays claim to India;s territory,” the Indian foreign ministry spokesperson said.
Earlier on Tuesday, India’s foreign minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar dismissed China’s territorial claims. New Delhi’s protest comes days after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to China’s President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg last week and highlighted concerns about the stand-off on their disputed Himalayan frontier.
