India asks China to share details of upstream projects at border talks in Delhi

India and China held their 36th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China Border Affairs (WMCC) in New Delhi, focusing on boundary delimitation, border management, and trans-border cooperation. India emphasized the need for China to provide technical details on upstream projects affecting trans-border rivers, particularly concerning a large dam being constructed on the Yarlung Tsangpo River (which flows into India as the Brahmaputra). This dam, estimated to generate three times more electricity than China's Three Gorges Dam, raises environmental concerns for downstream regions in India and Bangladesh. The meeting followed previous discussions and aimed to maintain peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), with both sides agreeing to continue using established diplomatic and military channels to address unresolved issues.
