印方承认至少20军人死,但总体论调克制
At least 20 Indian soldiers have died after a "violent face-off" with Chinese troops along the countries' de facto border in the Himalayas late Monday, the Indian army has said.
The incident occurred during a "deescalation process" underway in the Galwan Valley in the disputed Aksai Chin-Ladakh area, where a large troop build-up has reportedly been taking place for weeks now on both sides of the border, before senior military commanders began talks earlier this month.
印度军方说,周一晚、,在喜马拉雅山脉与中国军队在两国事实上的边界发生“暴力对峙”后,至少20名印度士兵死亡。
本次事件发生在有争议的阿克塞-钦-拉达克地区加尔旺河谷正在进行的“撤军进程”中,据报道,本月早些时候,在双方高级军事指挥官开始谈判之前,该地区的大规模增兵行动已经在边境两侧进行了数周。
Senior military officials from both sides are currently meeting to defuse the situation, the statement added.
"India and China have been discussing through military and diplomatic channels the de-escalation of the situation in the border area in Eastern Ladakh," said India's External Affairs Ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava on Tuesday.
He said senior commanders had "agreed on a process for such de-escalation" during a "productive meeting" on Saturday, June 6, and ground commanders had met regarding the implementation.
"While it was our expectation that this would unfold smoothly, the Chinese side departed from the consensus to respect the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Galwan Valley," he said in the statement.
"Both sides suffered casualties that could have been avoided had the agreement at the higher level been scrupulously followed by the Chinese side," he added.
"Given its responsible approach to border management, India is very clear that all its activities are always within the Indian side of the LAC. We expect the same of the Chinese side. We remain firmly convinced of the need for the maintenance of peace and tranquility in the border areas and the resolution of differences through dialogue. At the same time, we are also strongly committed to ensuring India's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
声明还说,双方高级军官目前正在开会,以缓和局势。
印度外交部发言人阿努拉格·斯利瓦斯塔瓦周二说:“印度和中国一直通过军事和外交渠道讨论拉达克东部边境地区局势的缓和。“
他说,在6月6日星期六举行的一次“富有成效的会议”上,高级指挥官们“同意了一个缓和局势的进程”,地面指挥官们也就执行问题举行了会议。
他在声明中说:“虽然我们预计这将顺利展开,但中国方面偏离了尊重加尔旺河谷实际控制线的共识”。
他还说:“如果中方严格遵守上级达成的协议,双方遭受的伤亡本来可以避免”。
“鉴于印度对边界管理采取负责任的做法,印方非常清楚,印方所有活动始终保持在实控线印方一侧。我们希望中国方面也这样。我们仍然坚信,必须维护边界地区的和平与安宁,并通过对话解决分歧。同时,我们也坚定地致力于确保印度的主权和领土完整。”
======插入分割线区分=======
本次冲突由于发生在夜间,双方的冷兵器级别的混战造成了重大伤亡,其中一个重要原因就是因为严重高原反应,人员在受伤之后得不到合理的治疗。开始印方只有3个重伤员,其他都是轻伤,一夜之间死了17个,相对印方,我方的伤亡情况还不得而知,但根据战场控制原则和我方的医疗配置情况,相信情况一定优于印军。
