The Indian government has affirmed that China occupies approximately 38,000 sq km of Indian territory following the 1962 Sino-India conflict. In response to parliamentary queries, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh outlined the historical context and extensive diplomatic efforts made to address the boundary dispute, including multiple rounds of negotiations and the establishment of the India-China Joint Working Group. Despite these initiatives, challenges remain in reaching a conclusive settlement. This ongoing dialogue reflects India’s commitment to resolving longstanding territorial issues through diplomatic channels while asserting its sovereignty over the disputed areas.
