The United States is closely monitoring border disputes between India and China and backs their peaceful resolution through direct dialogue, the State Department said on Tuesday, while stressing that it stands with allies and partners like India.

”We note the ongoing talks between the governments of India and China,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told a news briefing.

”We continue to support direct dialogue and a peaceful resolution of those border disputes,” he said, and added: ”We are concerned by Beijing’s pattern of ongoing attempts to intimidate its neighbors. As always, we’ll stand with friends, we’ll stand with partners, we’ll stand with allies.”
