External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said India’s border with China has become “more alive”, highlighting significant improvements in military deployment and infrastructure. Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2026 in New Delhi on November 14, he said India has strengthened its ability to sustain forces along the frontier, particularly following the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Jaishankar acknowledged that border infrastructure was neglected for years. He also said India missed opportunities for industrialisation during the 1980s, while China rapidly modernised its economy.
