NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India’s foreign minister said after meeting his Chinese counterpart in New Delhi that ties between the countries cannot be normal as long as there is a huge deployment of troops along their disputed border.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told a news briefing after a three-hour meeting with China’s Wang Yi that frictions and tensions on the border cannot be reconciled with normal relations.
