MEA seeks China’s assurance on not to selectively target Indians transiting through its airports

The Ministry of External Affairs has sought assurance from China that Indian citizens transiting through Chinese airports will not be “selectively targeted, arbitrarily detained, or harassed” and that Beijing will “respect” regulations governing international air travel. MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal also issued a travel advisory warning Indians travelling to, or transiting through China to exercise due discretion.
