Speaking at a convention organised by broadcaster NDTV on Monday, Jaishankar said India and China are rising powers who are growing at a fast pace in near proximity and it would require diplomacy to handle this ‘double rise’ in the region.
“I think what Foreign Secretary has said is what I can say. We reached that agreement on patrolling. We have gone back to where we were in 2020,” Jaishankar said while speaking at the NDTV World Summit.
“They had blocked us, so we had blocked them. We have reached an understanding, which will allow patrolling. I think the understanding to my knowledge is that we will be able to do the patrolling. With that, the disengagement process with China, you can say has been completed,” Jaishankar said.
Jaishankar said it was ‘good and positive development’ and said it was a ‘product of patient and very persevering diplomacy’.
