China-India border troops observe agreements

BEIJING - A spokeswoman for China's Foreign Ministry reiterated here on Wednesday that China's border troops have strictly observed relevant agreements between China and India.

Responding to a journalist's question on the issue, Hua Chunying told a daily press briefing, "The Chinese side has confined activities to within the Chinese border and never trespassed across the line."

She said that China and India have already established a consultation and coordination mechanism on border issues, adding that "the communication channels are open."
