Foreign Secretary Misri Discusses China’s COVID-19 Response and India-China Galwan Confrontation
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, China felt blamed and stigmatised by the international community, which contributed to its harsh attitude and strict lockdown measures. He recalled challenges faced during his tenure as Ambassador amid the India-China confrontation in Galwan Valley, where lives were lost for the first time in decades. Misri highlighted travel difficulties due to quarantine rules and noted that India did not blame China for the pandemic, despite China's perception of international criticism.
