Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said today that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India. She dismissed China’s objection to exiled Tibetan Spiritual leader Dalai Lama’s proposed visit to the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh.
Making New Delhi’s stance clear on the issue, Mrs. Rao said that there were no restrictions on Dalai Lama’s visit to the state since it is an integral part of India.
The reaction comes days after China expressed its concerns over Prime Minister's recent visit to Arunachal Pradesh and asked New Delhi to address China’s concern.
Meanwhile, in a statement, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said that they demand the Indian side address China's serious concerns and not trigger disturbance in the disputed area so as to facilitate the healthy development of India-China relationships.
