Twenty Indian soldiers were killed on valley at The Clash in the Galwan. India has said that both sides suffered losses during the fighting.

Mr. Zhao said, the Galwan valley was on the Chinese side of Line of Actual Control (LAC), the poorly demarcated border between the two nuclear-armed powers.

He Said the collision occurred at a time when the voltage had been stripped rebuilt easing after India demolished infrastructure on the Chinese side of the LAC in may and staff, following an agreement between Chinese and Indian officials.

But on 15. June Indian troops "Once Again crossed The Line of Actual control for the conscious provocation, if The Situation in the Galwan valley was already said easing", Mr Zhao.

"India, the front-line troops, even force the Chinese officers and soldiers, attacked the negotiations, resolves a fierce physical conflicts and cause losses," He Said .

India is building "roads, bridges and other facilities," of the LAC, in the Galwan Valley in April, Mr. Zhao said.

"no one has intervened in our limit, neither is there anyone who have been now, even our contributions," He Said .

India's armed forces had given "a free hand, all the necessary steps" to protect the Indian Territory , he added.

- Why were there no weapons?

The Galwan river valley in Ladakh, with its harsh climate and the high Alpine terrain in the vicinity of Aksai Chin, a disputed territory claimed by India but controlled by China.

This is not the First Time that the two nuclear-fought armed neighbors without conventional firearms at The Border . India and China have a history of face-offs and overlapping territorial claims all along the More Than 3.440 km (2,100 miles), poorly-drawn LAC separates the Two Sides .

The Last firing at The Border in 1975 happened when four Indian soldiers were killed in a remote pass in the North-Eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh . The Clash was variously described by former diplomats as an ambush and lead to an accident. But no bullets have been fired since.

At the root, this is a 1996 bilateral agreement that says: "no page is opened Fire . Conduct blast operations or hunt with guns or explosives within two kilometers from The Line of Actual control".

But there were other tense confrontations along The Border in recent weeks. In may, Indian and Chinese soldiers physical blows exchanged after The Border at Pangong Lake, in Ladakh and in the North-Eastern Indian state of Sikkim, and hundreds of miles to The East .

India has accused China to send thousands of troops in the Galwan valley, and China occupies 38,000 sq km (14,700 square miles) of its territory. Several rounds of talks have failed in The Last three decades, to solve The Border disputes.
