India rejects China’s objections to naming 28 locations in Ladakh

India rejected China’s objections to the naming of 28 locations and geographical features in Ladakh.[7][8] The Ministry of External Affairs reiterated that Ladakh is an integral part of India.[7] The development forms part of the continuing diplomatic and strategic contest between New Delhi and Beijing. China opposed India’s move to standardise names for locations in the Union Territory. India maintained that naming Indian places is within its sovereign and administrative authority. The issue is relevant to border diplomacy, cartography and national security. It may feature in questions on India-China relations and Ladakh’s constitutional status.
