New Delhi:
India on Friday said it continues to engage with China diplomatically and has been coordinating with Bhutan to find a mutually-acceptable solution to the Dokalam standoff.
"We continue to engage with China through diplomatic channels to find a mutually acceptable solution," external affairs ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay said.
Asked about China's claim of India reducing its troops from 400 to 40 in Dokalam, he said refused to give a direct reply calling it an operational matter.
Our objective is to achieve peace and tranquillity and it will be achieved through diplomacy, Baglay said.
