Following China’s renewed assertions over its claim on Taiwan, government sources in New Delhi clarified that there has been no change in India’s official stance on the matter. The country continues to recognize the One-China Policy, under which Taiwan is considered an integral part of China.lapnews.in
The clarification comes after recent diplomatic exchanges and media reports suggesting that China had once again emphasized its territorial claim over Taiwan, prompting global scrutiny amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Indo-Pacific region.
According to Indian officials familiar with the matter, India’s position has remained “consistent and clear”, though it also expects that China respects India’s own sovereignty and territorial integrity, particularly in the context of Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh—regions that have seen increased tensions between the two nations in recent years.
While India maintains diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China, it does not have formal ties with Taiwan, although economic, cultural, and technological engagements between New Delhi and Taipei have grown steadily over the past decade.
The development is significant as it comes ahead of key multilateral meetings where Taiwan’s status and cross-strait relations are expected to be raised in backchannel conversations. With the broader Indo-Pacific balance shifting and strategic alliances tightening, India is carefully treading a diplomatic path that maintains its global partnerships while avoiding direct confrontation.
