UNITED NATIONS, 14 December 2022, (TON): United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for the de-escalation in tensions along the India-China border, days after troops of the two countries clashed in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh, resulting in minor injuries to some soldiers on both sides.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said in Parliament that Chinese troops tried to unilaterally change the status quo along the Line of Actual Control in the Yangtse area of Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang sector, but the Indian Army compelled them to retreat by its "firm and resolute" response.
When Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson to the UN Secretary-General was asked to comment on this issue, he said "Yeah, we've seen these reports. We call for de-escalation and to ensure that the tensions along in that area do not grow."
