India's Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar says the border with China is now "more alive," and he is calling for more troops to be stationed there.
Speaking at a Delhi summit, he pointed out that India has boosted its ability to send and support forces along the border, alluding to Galwan, and said, "Our capability to sustain ourselves and deploy forces along that border has improved. I would say it has improved in a very significant way."
Jaishankar: India border upgrades, China surge
Jaishankar explained that, until about 10 years ago, border infrastructure was mostly ignored, but recent upgrades have made India stronger defensively.
On the economic front, he shared how China surged ahead by modernizing quickly in the 1980s, while India missed some chances.
