印度军方最高领导人指出解决与中国之间的边界争端将依赖于谈判，并表示这一问题依然“敏感”，这与两国近期以外交为主的正面言论形成对比，体现出了军界更为审慎的态度。
在新德里举办的活动中，陆军上将乌彭德拉·杜维迪（Upendra Dwivedi）发言称双方信任关系因冲突受损。目前边界处于“稳定但非常态”的状态，他指出，“失去的信任是最大的损失”。
他的讲话紧随两国有核武器的国家外长释放的积极信息，关于边境对话取得进展。中国国防部上周表示，在某些边境区域撤出军队这一问题上，双方已达成广泛共识。
然而，杜维迪强调尽管外交层面有所动作，但军事指挥官们还需聚在一起“审视这些变化在实际操作中如何体现”，并指出，“让外交官员提供方案和可能性更为合适”。
两国间3,488公里的边界一直未正式划定，自2020年6月发生的冲突导致印方20名军人、中方至少四名军人身亡后，双方陷入了四十多年来的最严重的边境危机。
随后双方调动了战斗机、大炮等武器装备靠近边境地带，并部署大量部队。印度政府也采取了更多措施限制中国的商业和投资活动，自从边界纠纷爆发以来。
双方已经进行了多轮外交与军事会谈，虽然已取得一些进展，但仍有至少两个关键点未能解决。杜维迪表示，“一个可接受的解决方案是双方所需要的”，强调新德里希望边境部署回到2020年冲突前的状态。
他最后强调：“印度军队对于任何可能的情况都做好了准备。”

原文摘要：
India’s army chief said resolving a border dispute with China will depend on negotiations and the issue still remains “sensitive,” signaling a more cautious approach from the military than recent diplomatic statements from the two countries.Speaking at an event in New Delhi on Tuesday, General Upendra Dwivedi said there had been a breakdown of trust with China as a result of the conflict and the border is “stable, but not normal.” The “loss of trust is the biggest casualty,” Dwivedi said. The army chief’s comments follow recent positive signals from the foreign ministers of the two nuclear-armed nations about progress on the border talks. China’s Defense Ministry said last week that the two sides have their differences and reached broader consensus about the withdrawal of troops from some parts of the border.Dwivedi said that while there had been some movement on the diplomatic side, the military commanders will “sit together to see how this translates on the ground.” He added that “it is for diplomats to gives options and possibilities.” The two nations, which share a 3,488-kilometer (2,167 miles) unmarked border, have been locked in their worst border dispute in four decades after clashes between soldiers in June 2020 left 20 Indian and at least four Chinese troops dead. Both sides have moved fighter jets, artillery guns and missiles closer to the border, while thousands of troops were deployed. India’s government also imposed additional restrictions on Chinese businesses and investments since the border skirmish. The two nations have held several rounds of diplomatic and military talks with incremental progress. At least two points of friction still remain. Both sides need an acceptable solution, Dwivedi said, adding that New Delhi wants the border deployments to return to what they were prior to the 2020 skirmish. “The Indian military remains prepared for any eventuality,” he said.
