India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has rejected China's recent attempts to assign fictitious names to territories that are part of India, specifically pointing to Arunachal Pradesh. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that such attempts do not change the reality of India's sovereignty over these regions. The ministry highlighted that these actions undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilize and normalize relations between India and China. The context of this dispute comes as China announced the establishment of a new county named 'Cenling' in its Xinjiang province, located near the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). This county is the third such establishment by China in Xinjiang within a year, raising concerns in India, which had previously protested the creation of other counties in the region. The MEA reiterated that these territories will always remain an integral part of India, despite China's persistent claims and actions.
