Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that global criticism directed at China during the COVID-19 pandemic appeared to harden Beijing’s attitude towards the world. He made the remark while reflecting on China’s evolving approach in recent years.
Misri also recalled the major challenge he faced during his posting in China as India’s Ambassador, when India and China were involved in an unprecedented confrontation in eastern Ladakh’s Galwan Valley.
He referred to the Galwan episode as one of the most difficult phases during his diplomatic assignment in China.
