China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in Tibet a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s shout from the Red Fort on India’s 74th Independence Day. During this time, the Chinese Foreign Minister did not give an open statement against India, but in gestures talked about the security of Tibet amidst the tension on the border. It is being told that Wang Yi has reached Tibet after 5 years.
China’s top leaders rarely visit Tibet
Let us know that the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party do not visit Tibet unless there is a very important work. In such a situation, strategic experts are looking at Wang Yi’s trip to Tibet from the perspective of doubt. The visit of the top Chinese leader to Tibet is being linked to the Galvan violence. While the Chinese government media Global Times has claimed that they frequently go on research trips across China.
Assessment of security situation in border areas
During this time Wang Yi said that the security and stability of Tibet is important for China’s overall development. He urged diplomats to work together with local authorities for national security. He also said that the Chinese government, together with the people of Tibet, is ensuring Tibet’s support and economic and social development for regional stability, national security and cooperation with other countries.
Wang traveled to claim sovereignty
Gusu, a political science professor at Nanjing University, said the Chinese Foreign Minister’s visit to Tibet is unique in itself. Especially at a time when the border dispute with India and the closure of the US embassy, the region has been in the news internationally. He also said that with Wang Yi’s visit, China wants to indicate that it is serious about its sovereignty in the border region.
What did PM Modi say
PM Modi, without naming China and Pakistan from the Red Fort, said that the army has given a befitting reply to those raising eyes from LOC to LAC. The world has seen what our brave soldiers can do, what the country can do, in Ladakh. He also said that today the neighbors are not only those who meet our geographical boundaries but also those who meet our hearts.
