Jaishankar discusses the LAC dispute with Qin of China and multilateral ties with Lavrov of Russia.

In recent developments, India’s External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, has been engaged in discussions with his Chinese and Russian counterparts regarding several key issues of mutual interest. The discussions centered on the ongoing border dispute between India and China, as well as bilateral and multilateral ties.

On April 6, 2021, Jaishankar met with China’s Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, in Moscow on the sidelines of a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). During the meeting, the two leaders discussed the ongoing standoff between India and China in eastern Ladakh, which began in May 2020.

The LAC dispute has been a point of contention between India and China for several decades, and both sides have engaged in talks to find a resolution. However, tensions between the two nations have escalated in recent years, leading to violent clashes in the Galwan Valley in June 2020 that resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and an undisclosed number of Chinese troops.

Jaishankar emphasized the need for a resolution to the LAC dispute based on mutual respect and sensitivity to each other’s concerns. He also stressed the importance of maintaining peace and tranquility in the border areas to ensure the overall development of bilateral ties.

In a separate meeting on April 6, Jaishankar discussed bilateral ties and regional issues with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The two leaders emphasized the importance of strengthening the strategic partnership between India and Russia and exploring new areas of cooperation.

They discussed regional issues, including the situation in Afghanistan, the Syrian conflict, and the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. Jaishankar reiterated India’s commitment to a peaceful and stable Afghanistan and emphasized the importance of regional cooperation to address the situation in Myanmar.

The discussions between Jaishankar and his Chinese and Russian counterparts come at a time when India is seeking to diversify its foreign policy and strengthen ties with other countries to counter China’s growing influence in the region.

In conclusion, the meetings between Jaishankar and his Chinese and Russian counterparts reflect India’s commitment to engaging with key stakeholders to address bilateral and regional issues. While the LAC dispute remains a point of contention between India and China, the discussions represent a step towards finding a resolution based on mutual respect and sensitivity. At the same time, the discussions with Russia highlight the importance of strengthening strategic partnerships to address regional challenges and promote peace and stability in the region.
