Everyone is aware of China's action. He is trying to destabilize his neighboring countries. The history of China's land grab of neighboring countries is not hidden from anyone. From Tibet to Ladakh and Doklam, Dragon has always been looking at the land of neighboring countries due to expansionist policy. Now his eye is on the land of Bhutan.
At such a time, when China is constantly inhabited in Bhutan and is increasing its presence in the disputed areas, India has once again conveyed its strong relationship with Bhutan. In this episode, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi is on a four -day visit to Bhutan. It is being told that in such a situation, there is tension in the camp of China regarding this journey.
This visit of General Upendra Dwivedi is also important because this is his first visit to Bhutan as an army chief. During this, General Dwivedi Bhutan King Jigme Kesar will meet Namgyal Wangchuk and will also hold a strategic discussion with Lt. General Battu Shering, Chief Operation Officer of Royal Bhutan Army.
China's expansionism from Doklam to Sakat will
China has not left its actions even after tasting a crushing defeat at the hands of India in Doklam in Doklam. The Indian Army had prevented the Chinese PLA from building a road in front of Torsa drain in Doklam. There has been a dispute between China and Bhutan over the 477 km long border since the 1950s. There is the most controversy over the two areas here, one of them is Doklam area with an area of 269 square kilometers. The second area is from Zakarlung and Pasmalung Valley of 495 square kilometers north of Bhutan.
In the last eight years, Dragon has settled more than 20 villages by infiltrating the land of Bhutan. In Doklam itself, China has created 8 new villages. Apart from this, China has also been raising controversy over the northern areas of Bhutan, Zakarlung and Pasmalung Valley. In October 2021, China and Bhutan signed a three-step roadmap agreement. So far, 25 rounds of border talks have been held between the two countries.
Trying to intimidate Bhutan Army too
China recently launched a new controversy. It is a wild life century in the East of Bhutan near Tawang border of Arunachal Pradesh. According to sources, during the Global Environment meeting in 2020, China also staked its claim on this. However, Bhutan rejected it outright. Sankatg will not seem directly to China's border with the century, yet it claims it. China is justifying this area.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China is now trying to stop the Royal Bhutan Army (RBA) from patrolling in its land. Bhutan soldiers were stopped on the banks of the Amo-Chho River near Doklam. The matter increased so much that in February, a flag meeting between the two armies had to be held.
China is running tricks through shepherds
In Ladakh, China has already run to grab land on the pretext of shepherds. Now the same is happening in Bhutan. According to the intelligence report, the shepherds of China on the Tibet-Bhutan border tried to capture the pastures. When the Bhutan Army stopped them, China objected and pressured Tibetan shepherds to be called Chinese shepherds.
India-Bhutan friendship will not affect
Relationships between India and Bhutan are based on friendship, cooperation and trust. Most of the strategic training in Bhutan takes place in military institutions in India. India is also a partner in Bhutan's trade and development. On Monday, the fourth development cooperation has been held between the two countries on Monday itself.
This visit of General Upendra Dwivedi is not just diplomatic but also a strategic message that India is standing in every challenge with its neighbor Bhutan and will not allow Doklam -like act to happen again. India is closely eyeing the conspiracies of the dragon and Bhutan is not ready to retreat.
