The McMahon Line came into existence in 1914 under the Simla Agreement between the then British Government of India and Tibet. The boundary line was named after Sir Henry McMahon, foreign secretary of the then British government in India.
Washington:
Opposing China's military aggression to "change the status quo" along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), a bipartisan resolution was moved in the US Senate on Thursday to recognise Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of India. Chinese provocations, including construction of villages in disputed areas, publication of maps with Mandarin language names for cities and areas of the Indian state of Arunachal and expansion of China's territories in Bhutan have been condemned.
China claims Arunachal Pradesh as its own territory and calls it 'South Tibet' as part of its aggressive and expansionist policies, the resolution said. "The United States recognizes the state of Arunachal Pradesh not as a disputed territory, but as an integral part of India," said the bipartisan resolution moved by Democrat leader Jeff Markle and Republican leader Bill Haggerty.
The resolution was co-sponsored by Senator John Cornyn, co-chair of the India Caucus. The Senate resolution contradicts Chinese claims over Arunachal Pradesh, affirming that the US recognises the McMahon Line as the international border between China and the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. The McMahon Line came into existence in 1914 under the Simla Agreement between the then British Government of India and Tibet. The boundary line was named after Sir Henry McMahon, foreign secretary to the then British government in India, who played a key role in the agreement.
"This resolution makes clear that the United States views the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh as part of India, not China, and reaffirms america's commitment to supporting and assisting the region, together with like-minded international partners," Markle said. Have.
