Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said India wants peace with China but will not compromise on its territory or sovereignty. Speaking on CNN-News18 BRICS Dialogues, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made efforts to normalise India-China ties. Rijiju, who hails from Arunachal Pradesh, said his views on China are shaped by the state’s experience, but avoided elaborating to prevent his remarks being interpreted as the government’s official position. He said India is strengthening border infrastructure and will match China’s capabilities in frontier areas. Rijiju also dismissed China’s attempts to rename locations in Arunachal Pradesh as “tactical games”, asserting that Arunachal Pradesh is not part of Chinese history or civilisation.
