India’s Foreign Ministry says it rejects attempts by Beijing to change the names of mountains and rivers in its Arunachal Pradesh state. China also lays claim to the region.
Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi on Tuesday said New Delhi rejected “outright” the renaming of places in its Arunachal Pradesh state.
The comments came in response to media reports that China had renamed several places in Arunachal Pradesh, which Beijing also claims.
“This is not the first time China has made such an attempt,” Bagchi wrote on Twitter.
