Itanagar: Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal Pradesh Ninong Ering on Tuesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take up several issues involving the state with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the upcoming G-20 Summit.
The next G-20 Summit would be held at Buenos Aires, Argentina, from November 30 to December 1. In a letter to Modi, the Congress MP said the relation between India and China is critical from the view point of Arunachal as the state shares border with China.
“The issue of China providing stapled visa to the people of Arunachal Pradesh is not new and must be brought to their notice tactfully. The Government of India must assert the territorial integrity of India, and convey the feelings of the state people in a firm manner,” Ering wrote in the letter. As a policy, China issues stapled visas to people of Arunachal Pradesh leading to problems for them.
