BEIJING, June 4 � China prefers a pact with India on a Code of Conduct to maintain peace along the border rather than clarification of Line of Actual Control proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit here last month, reports PTI.
Outlining China�s first public reaction to Prime Minister Modi�s proposal, Deputy Director General of the Asian Affairs at the Foreign Ministry Huang Xilian said both sides should try to reach an agreement on Code of Conduct as attempts to clarify mutual positions on the LAC had �encountered difficulties� in the past.
�Whatever we do in the border area it should be constructive. That means it should be a building block for the process of negotiations, not a stumbling block,� he said, replying to a question.
�If we find that clarification of the LAC is building block then we should go ahead. But if we find that it is a stumbling block it could complicate the situation further. We have to be careful,� Huang, the Ministry�s point man for India, told an Indian media delegation here on the outcome of Modi�s three-day visit here last month.
