No recent talks between PM Modi and US President Trump over China: Sources

May 29, 2020

New Delhi/Washington DC (USA), May 29 (ANI): There have been no recent talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump over the Ladakh and China issue. Informed source over the matter told ANI, "There has been no recent contact between PM Modi and US President Trump. Last conversation between them was on 4 April, 2020, on the subject of Hydroxychloroquine. Yesterday, the MEA had also made it clear that we're directly in touch with China through established mechanisms and diplomatic contact." This comes at the backdrop of Trump's claim that PM Modi is in no "good mood" about what's going on with China. India reiterated that they'll resolve the issue bilaterally. While the Indian and Chinese military commanders are talking face-to-face in Ladakh, and diplomatic efforts are underway in the country capitals to resolve the situation, the Indian Army has been effectively responding by building and deploying its own capabilities in Eastern Ladakh including the Galwan sector. Sources have told ANI that no compromise will be made with regard to maintaining the sanctity of India's borders and that while India believes in peace, it is firm and resolute when it comes to the defence of its territory.
