Condemning the incident, he said 🎉the governments of the two nations must work together to resolve problems.

"I was hurt when I heard about the December 9 incident. I condemn this. If PLA cont⭕inues doing such things in the future, I🌼ndia-China relations will suffer," he said in a video message.

"Such border incidents are bad for the relations between the two countries. Governments of Indi🌞a and China should work on making the relations better," said Gao, the Lok Sabha MP from the Arunachal East constituency.

Indian and🧸 Chinese troops clashed along the LAC in the Tawang sector and the face-off resulted in "minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides", the Indian Army said.

The clash near Yangtse along the LAC in the sensitive sector took place last Friday amid the over 30-month border standoff bet🥂ween the two sides in eastern Ladakh.

"On December 9, PLA troops contacted the LAC in Tawang Sector which w🤪as contested by own (Indian) troops in a firm and resolute manner. This face-off led to minor injuries to few personnel from both sides," the Army said in a statement.

"Both sides immediately dise🅺ngaged from the area. As a follow up of the incident, own (Indian) commander in the area held a flag meeting with his counterpart to discuss the issue in accordance with struc🐷tured mechanisms to restore peace and tranquillity," it said.
