NEW DELHI—India’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday that it was concerned about a new law passed by China last week to strengthen border protection amid a protracted military standoff between the two Asian giants along a contested Himalayan frontier.

On Saturday, China passed a dedicated law specifying how it governs and guards its 14,000-mile land border shared with 14 neighboring countries, including Russia, nuclear-capable North Korea, and India.
