Blaming previous Indian governments for “neglecting” the Line of Actual Control (LAC), External Affairs Minister on Monday said he had seen first-hand the extent of Chinese infrastructure development from the 2000s on its side of the LAC when he was India’s Ambassador to China (2009-2013).

LAC

• LAC stands for Line of Actual Control. It is the de facto border between India and China in the Ladakh and Aksai Chin regions.
• The LAC was established in 1962, after the Sino-Indian War.
• The LAC is not a legally binding border, and there is no clear agreement on where it runs in some areas.
• This has led to a number of disputes between India and China, including the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.

The LAC is a sensitive border region, and there is always the potential for conflict between India and China. However, both countries have an interest in maintaining peace and stability in the region.

In 2022, India and China held a series of high-level talks to try to resolve the border disputes.

The LAC is a complex and sensitive issue, and it is unclear how the border disputes between India and China will be resolved.

However, both countries have an interest in maintaining peace and stability in the region, and they will likely continue to work towards a resolution.

Here are some additional facts about the LAC:

• The LAC is about 3,488 kilometers long.
• The LAC runs through some of the most difficult terrain in the world, including the Himalayas and the Karakoram Mountains.
• The LAC is heavily militarized, with both India and China deploying large numbers of troops along the border.
• The LAC is a major source of tension between India and China, and there have been several clashes along the border in recent years.
• In 2020, there was a major clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley, which resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese soldiers.
• Despite the tensions, India and China have held a number of high-level talks to try to resolve the border disputes.
• It is unclear how the border disputes between India and China will be resolved, but both countries have an interest in maintaining peace and stability in the region.
