China on Monday objected to Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s first visit to Arunachal Pradesh, saying her tour of the “disputed area” is not conducive to the peace and tranquillity of the region. Ms. Sitharaman on Sunday visited forward Army posts in remote Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh bordering China to take stock of the defence preparedness.
“As to Indian Defence Minister visit to Arunachal Pradesh, you must be very clear about China’s position,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a media briefing.
