北京科技新闻网报道 中印第七轮军长级会谈当地时间12日在楚舒勒举行。据《印度快报》13日报道,与之前一样,本轮会谈又是一场长达11个多小时的“马拉松式会谈”,从当地时间中午开始,直至午夜结束。中国国防部新闻发言人任国强13日表示,双方重点围绕两国一线部队在中印边界西段实控线地区脱离接触坦诚、深入和建设性地交换了意见。印媒援引印度政府消息人士的话称,双方后续可能会从当前阵地撤出部分人员,特别是驻守在制高点的士兵,“但只有中方这样做之后,印方才会考虑采取相应的行动”。

印媒称,印度外交部东亚司司长史耐恩代表外交系统参加第六轮军长级会谈后,中国外交部本轮也首次派出一名相应级别的官员与会。此外,印中两国军方分别增派一名高官参加会谈。任国强13日表示,双方认为本轮会谈是积极和建设性的,增进了对彼此立场的相互理解。双方同意继续通过军事和外交渠道保持对话沟通,尽快就脱离接触达成双方都能接受的解决办法。
WIRE新闻网13日援引知情人士的话报道称,印方在会谈中继续敦促中方尽快从对峙地点撤军,并将现地局势恢复至4月底之前的状态。报道称,双方都希望维持现地稳定,避免发生任何导致紧张局势进一步升级的行动,但也做好了在漫长冬季继续对峙的准备。值得一提的是,本轮会谈后,印度军方谈判代表将更换为中印第六轮军长级会谈中出现的梅农中将。据《环球时报》记者了解,梅农之前在锡克军团长期任职,在处理涉华事务上有一定经验。
另据ZeeNews电视台13日独家报道,印度军方制定了一项名为“BR”的计划,“用以对付中国和巴基斯坦”。所谓“BR”,“B”指的是“毗湿摩”坦克,也就是T-90主战坦克,“R”指的是“阵风”战机。报道称,在中印边境局势日益紧张的背景下,印度陆军和空军全力戒备,有能力应对中国和巴基斯坦在边境地区“挑起的任何威胁”,“如果中巴计划实施不必要的行动,印度将通过‘BR’计划给它们上一课”。
此外,印度国防部长辛格12日宣布在中印边境地区新建多座桥梁,其中有8座在“拉达克中央直辖区”,8座在“阿鲁纳恰尔邦”(我藏南地区)。很多桥梁可以在任何气候条件下通达中印边境争议地区。
对此,中国外交部发言人赵立坚13日在例行记者会上回应称,中方不承认印度非法设立的所谓“拉达克中央直辖区”和“阿鲁纳恰尔邦”,反对在边境争议地区开展以军事争控为目的的基础设施建设。根据双方共识,任何一方都不应在边境地区采取任何导致局势复杂化的行动,以避免影响双方为缓和局势所做的努力。赵立坚强调,一段时期以来,印方持续在中印边境地区加强基础设施建设,增加兵力部署,这是中印边境局势紧张的根源。
与此同时,美国也在拉拢印度对抗中国。据《印度时报》报道,正在印度进行访问的美国常务副国务卿比根12日表示,美国希望同印度通过“四方安全对话”建立伙伴关系并加强沟通,强调“已经看到印美在建立更深层次伙伴关系方面的条件”。他说,美印之前对待中国的态度“过于谨慎”,形容中国是“房间中的大象”。印媒称,比根此访旨在为即将举行的印美外交和防务“2+2”对话做准备。
