The United States recognized Arunachal as a state of India. The country recognized this during the conflict between India and China for the last few decades. The US State Department has clarified its position on the province during the conflict between India and China for the past few decades.
In a press conference on Wednesday, a spokesperson of the US State Department said that the US has recognized Arunachal Pradesh as a part of India. It also opposes any unauthorized entry of any other state into the region across the border there. Reuters.
On one side of the western part of the Himalayan mountain range lies the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and on the other side the state of Arunachal. China has been claiming Arunachal Pradesh as part of South Tibet for several years. India has been opposing it. India has always rejected this demand of China. On Tuesday, India’s Ministry of External Affairs said that China’s demand on Arunachal Pradesh is unreasonable.
This province has always been and always will be of India. Note that China has been claiming Arunachal as its territory since the 1960s. War has been fought several times between India and China, the two nuclear-powered neighbors, over this issue. The first war took place in 1962. The last war took place in 2020. 20 Indian and 4 Chinese soldiers were killed in the latest battle. Both countries have deployed large numbers of troops in the Arunachal-Tibet border area, although they have not engaged in hostilities since then.
