A spokeswoman for China's Foreign Ministry reiterated 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."

The maintenance of peace along the border is the consensus between China and India and complies with both their interests, according to Hua.
