The latest Chinese aggression against India is yet another reminder of strong India-US ties, top American lawmakers have said.

바카라China바카라s most recent aggression in Arunachal Pradesh is yet another reminder of why a strong security partnership with India is crucial to the national security of the United States and our allies,바카라 India Caucus Co-Chairs said in a statement.

바카라This event marks yet another threat of the People바카라s Republic of China (PRC) to the Indian territory, including China바카라s premeditated aggression on the Line of Actual Control in 2020 which saw the death of approximately 20 Indian troops,바카라 the co-chairs said.

바카라As co-chairs of the India Caucus, we have worked for years to deepen the US-India bilateral relationship. The India Caucus built on this progress by including the Khanna-Sherman-Schweikert amendment in the House-passed FY23 NDAA, highlighting the immediate and serious regional border threats that India faces from China,바카라 said the statement.

The co-chairs applauded the inclusion of Section 1260 in the FY23 Final Conference Report to strengthen military cooperation in critical areas like intelligence gathering, fifth generation aircraft, and emerging technologies to deter China바카라s aggression and encroachment in the Indo-Pacific region.

바카라The US and India share a unique bond as the world바카라s oldest democracy and the world바카라s largest democracy, and as co-chairs of the Caucus we will continue to grow our security engagement and bilateral ties,바카라 said the statement. 

The Indian and Chinese troops were engaged in a fresh clash in Yangtse area of Arunachal Pradesh바카라s Tawang sector on December 9, in first such major flare-up after the deadly hand-to-hand combat in the Galwan Valley in June 2020 that marked the most serious military conflict between the two sides in decades.
