Other countries back India in its standoff with China, said Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj today about the dispute at the border with Sikkim which began more than a month ago. Ms Swaraj said in parliament that "India has not said anything unreasonable" and that "all countries are in India's support". The government has been stressing that it is working diplomatic channels to defuse the tension; Beijing, on the other hand, has spoken harshly with warnings of "serious consequences" if India does not pull back its soldiers.
