File photo NEW DELHI: Amid the border standoff with China in eastern Ladakh, external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said it was an ongoing issue and "we need to have trust
in our armed forces and their ability to secure our interests". Jaishankar said there is also a need to have trust in the ability of the system -- both military commanders and the
diplomatic channels -- in negotiating with the Chinese. Asked about the situation at the border in eastern Ladakh, Jaishankar told Times Now in an interview: "You know this is going to
play out. There will be things which China has done. There will be responses that India has made...There are actually negotiations on the way." "I understand the compulsions on
media to know everything yesterday, unfortunately, real life is a little bit different. So, this is about national security. This is a very complicated ground situation out there," he
said. "We need to have trust in our armed forces and their ability to secure our interests, and frankly in the ability of the system, I mean both military commanders and the diplomatic
channels, in negotiating with the Chinese," he said. "Don't call out a match… before it is halfway through," the external affairs minister added. During the interview,
Jaishankar also extensively discussed his recently released book 'The India Way'. The situation in eastern Ladakh escalated manifold after 20 Indian soldiers were killed in clashes
in the Galwan Valley on June 15. The Chinese side acknowledged suffering casualties, but it is yet to divulge details. The situation further deteriorated following at least three attempts
by soldiers of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to "intimidate" Indian troops along the northern and southern banks of the Pangong lake area in the last three weeks where
even shots were fired in the air for the first time at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in 45 years. As the tensions escalated further, Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi held
talks on the sidelines of a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meet in Moscow on September 10 where they reached a five-point agreement to defuse the situation in eastern Ladakh. The
agreement was the basis for the sixth round of Corps commander-level talks on Monday which was also attended for the first time by a joint secretary from the Ministry of External Affairs.
The agreement that aimed at ending the tense standoff included measures like quick disengagement of troops, avoiding action that could escalate tensions, adherence to all agreements and
protocols on border management and steps to restore peace along the LAC.
