    China skips G20 meeting in Arunachal Pradesh amid LAC row

    What's the story

    China on Sunday reportedly skipped a critical G20 meeting in Arunachal Pradesh's capital, Itanagar, which was attended by nearly 100 international representatives, including those from the United States.

    During their visit, the delegates also visited the state legislature and sampled local cuisine, NDTV reported.

    Notably, China doesn't recognize India's sovereignty over Arunachal Pradesh and instead claims the region is part of South Tibet.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    India and China have been involved in a border conflict since 2020 due to differences over the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

    A conflict in Ladakh's Galwan Valley in 2020 allegedly resulted in the death of 20 Indian soldiers, worsening the situation in nearly five decades.

    Meanwhile, PM Narendra Modi-led government has repeatedly refuted reports that China invaded Indian territory and built military infrastructure.

    Details

    China's 1st hostile step toward India's G20 presidency 

    A senior official told Economic Times that "there is no delegation from China" at the G20 meeting on "Research, Innovation Initiative, Gathering" held in Itanagar on Sunday.

    However, reports said that it is not yet known whether China lodged an official protest with India over the meeting.

    This is the first step from Beijing, which is likely to be hostile toward India's G20 presidency.

    Reaction

    Indian foreign ministry, China yet to react to reports

    The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and China, according to reports, are yet to react to the reports.

    Notably, the Itanagar meeting, which was reportedly organized by the state's Science and Technology Department, was designated confidential, and media coverage was prohibited.

    According to PTI, the delegates who attended the summit also toured the Arunachal Pradesh Assembly and a Buddhist temple in Itanagar.

    China

    China attended G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Delhi

    The meeting on Sunday was one of the 200 such sessions scheduled in over 50 major cities across India as part of India's G20 presidency.

    After assuming leadership last year, India decided to hold G20 meetings in all 28 states and eight union territories.

    Earlier this month, China's Foreign Minister Qin Gang visited India for the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Delhi.

    Pakistan

    Pakistan lobbying against G20 meet in J&K

    According to The Times of India, Pakistan is also opposing a G20 summit on culture in Jammu and Kashmir, which is slated for May.

    It has requested assistance from China, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia in preventing India from hosting the conference in Srinagar.

    Islamabad sees any G20 meeting in J&K as an attempt to give New Delhi's actions "international legitimacy."

    Information

    India-China LAC faceoff 

    In December last year, Indian and Chinese forces battled along the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang sector, escalating a months-long border impasse in eastern Ladakh. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh later accused China of attempting to "unilaterally" alter the status quo along the LAC.
