New Delhi: The recent incursion by Chinese troops cast a “pretty dark shadow” on India-China relations, but the issue was handled “maturely” by both and probably Chinese Premier Li Keqiang will “get a chance to explain why, what happened” during his talks with Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, sources said Saturday.

The shadow of the 20-day boundary stand-off, caused by the April 15 incursion of Chinese troops 19 km inside Indian territory on the Line of Actual Control, has “not completely gone”, but the Chinese have “begun the effort to explain what happened”, said an informed source here on Saturday.

The Depsang area in Ladakh region is a very important region, and the incursion was a “way of signalling it is an important region for China”, the source said during an interaction at the Press Club of India premises. (IANS)
