Criticizing It Repeatedly Doesnโ€™t Make Us Less Credible: India Flags Chinaโ€™s Border Moves At Quad Meet

New Delhi: Due to Chinaโ€™s disregard of the written agreements with us to not mass forces at the border, in 2020, the current situation has arisen at the Line Of Actual Control in Ladakh, said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. On Saturday while addressing at a joint India-Australia press conference in Melbourne along with his Australian counterpart Marise Payne, the minister says that when a country disregards a written commitment, it is an issue of concern for the international community.

โ€œSo, when a large country disregards written commitments, I think itโ€™s an issue of legitimate concern for the entire international community,โ€ he said.

Adding on he said that the four foreign ministers of the Quad countries made a point that โ€œweโ€™re here to do positive things, to contribute to peace, prosperity, stability of the regionโ€.

On Chinaโ€™s foreign minister criticising the Quad, Mr Jaishankar said that our actions and stance are very clear, and criticising it repeatedly โ€œdoesnโ€™t make us less credibleโ€.

The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) is a partnership of four nations, each of whom shares a commitment to openness, transparency and challenges coming out of the current global order.

This is the first time Quad Foreign Ministers are meeting since the two Quad Summits last year. They will be discussing ongoing Quad cooperation in their bilateral phone calls and meetings.
