India has made it clear that defence exchanges with China will remain suspended till Beijing satisfactorily resolves the issue of denial of visa to a senior Indian General commanding troops in Jammu and Kashmir. Top Defence Ministry sources on Wednesday held Beijing responsible for creating a situation when India has to take a relook at its bilateral military exchanges. The officials, however, said that other local level military meetings such as the border personnel conferences for maintaining peace and tranquility along the Sino-Indian borders would continue. India has officially suspended defence exchanges with China in July following the denial of visa to Northern Army Commander Lt Gen B S Jaswal, who commands troops in Jammu and Kashmir.Denying a visit to Beijing, China is trying to imply that the state did not form part of Indian territory. Only last week, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna had asked China to respect India's sensitivities on issues like Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh so that the relationship could be developed further. Against the backdrop of certain recent Chinese actions including that of stapled visas to civilians from the state, Krishna also urged Beijing to maintain neutrality on the affairs related to the state as it has always done.
