No land conceded under pact with China: MEA

India on Thursday said it has not conceded any territory as part of the disengagement agreement with China and asserted that it has rather enforced observance of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to prevent any unilateral change in the status quo.

At an online media briefing here, Ministry of Exter nal Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said there has not been any change in India's position on the LAC and the mutual redeployment as a result of the disengagement process should not be misrepresented.

Asked about the recent agreement on the de-escalation process in Ladakh's Pangong Lake area, he said the factual position has been very well conveyed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and in a Defence Ministry statement, which he said was aimed at setting the record straight in view of certain misleading and misinfor med comments that appeared in the media.

Meanwhile, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar spoke to his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on Thursday and discussed the implementation of their Moscow Agreement on the border standoff and also reviewed the status of disengagement in Eastern Ladakh.

"Spoke to State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi this af ternoon. Discussed the implementation of our Moscow Agreement and reviewed the status of disengagement," EAM Jaishankar tweeted.
