The US has expressed concern over the border stand-off between China and India in the Sikkim Sector that has continued for over a month now. It has also urged both countries to work together to try to come up with some sort of arrangement for peace.
State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert told reporters at her daily news conference that she knows the US is concerned about the ongoing situation there. The statement came as a response to questions on the border standoff between China and India in the Sikkim sector for more than a month now.
"We believe that both parties, both sides should work together to try to come up with some better sort of arrangement for peace," Ms Nauert said.
While China claims that they are constructing roads on their own territories, New Delhi apprehends that it may allow Chinese troops to cut India's access to its North Eastern states.
Of the 3,488-km-long India-China border from Jammu and Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh, a 220-km section falls in Sikkim. ALSO READ:
