NEW DELHI: The Government of Bhutan on Thursday refuted Chinese foreign
ministry claims about Thimpu telling Beijing that the trilateral border
stand-off area in Doklam in the Sikkim sector is not Bhutan's territory.+
A top Chinese diplomat Wang Wenli had claimed that Bhutan had conveyed to
Beijing through diplomatic channels that the area of the standoff is not its
territory.
Wang, who is the deputy director general of the Department of Boundary and
Ocean Affairs in China's foreign ministry, reportedly conveyed this
information to a visiting Indian media delegation on Wednesday.
She, however, did not provide any evidence to back her claim, which has been
strongly denied by Bhutan.
Official sources in the Bhutanese Government told ANI over phone, "Our
position on the border issue of Doklam is very clear. Please refer to our
statement which has been published on the web site of Bhutan's foreign
ministry on June 29, 2017."
Reacting to the developments in Doklam, Bhutan had on June 29 issued a press
release+ in which it clearly stated that the construction of the road
inside Bhutanese territory is a direct violation of the agreements and
affects the process of demarcating the boundary between the two countries.
In the press release, Bhutan said that the Chinese Army started constructing
a motorable road from Dokola in the Doklam area towards the Bhutan Army
camp at Zompelri on June 16, 2017. |
