New Delhi : The Galwan border clash of last year has taken India-China relations “in a completely different direction”, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said, adding that the challenge to manage the relationship with Beijing now “ranks very, very high” for New Delhi.
He said China had no “good reason” to deploy the military in large numbers at the Ladakh border in a “very operational mode”, a development which started in May last year and led to heightened tensions between the two big neighbours.
