What Happened
India strongly rejected China's criticism over New Delhi officially assigning standard Indian names to 27 locations and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh. Responding to Beijing's objections, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said Arunachal Pradesh is an "inalienable and integral part of India" and that "nothing can change this indisputable reality."
Key Takeaways
India said the move is not a new territorial claim but a formal recognition of locations that have always been part of its territory.
