New Delhi India's border with China has become "more alive" and requires a much greater commitment of Indian troops on a sustained basis, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Saturday (November 14, 2026) as he listed New Delhi's policy approach to enhance infrastructure along the frontier.

Mr. Jaishankar also said that India has bolstered its military capabilities along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) since the deadly clashes in Eastern Ladakh's Galwan Valley in 2020.
