India-China relations will remain strained due to Beijing’s large deployment of troops at their shared Himalayan border, which violates the 1993–96 agreements, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said Friday.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Jaishankar and the national security adviser in Delhi on Friday, the first high-level visit to India by a Chinese official since the border stand-off in Ladakh happened in June 2020.
