India's Foreign Minister accuses China of trying to coerce India

India's Foreign Minister has accused Beijing of trying to coerce its neighbour on the border issue.

For three years now, India and China have been engaged in a border stand-off in eastern Ladakh. While China claims the border is generally stable, India maintains that it is not and that ties with Beijing are 'abnormal'.

India and China fought a war over border differences in 1962 and disagreements over the frontier that is mostly unmarked are common but this is the most tense bilateral ties have been in sixty years.

India's Foreign Minister Dr S Jaishankar says China is the only exception in a long list of countries with which India has pushed for expanded bilateral ties.

In: 'In a sense...'
Out: 'which is holding that back'.
