By PTI: Washington- Indian-American Congressman Dr Ami Bera on Friday expressed concern over the Chinese aggression along its India border and asked Beijing to use diplomatic mechanisms rather than force to settle boundary issues with the neighboring country. As earlier India & China were engaged in diplomatic and military talks amidst escalating tension following the violent clashes in Galwan Valley on June 15. Twenty Indian Army personnel were killed in the clash.
As Chair of the House Foreign Subcommittee on Asia, Dr Bera said that he is "concerned by continued Chinese aggression along its border" with India.
"I encourage China to use its longstanding diplomatic mechanisms with India to deescalate the situation rather than force to settle boundary issues," Dr Bera, the longest-serving Indian American in House of Representatives, said in a tweet.
"While this is a matter between China and India, it is my view that increasing military forces on either side of the Line of Actual Control will be counterproductive and unhelpful," Dr Bera said.
