China has cancelled a trip of Indian journalists to Tibet. This was conveyed to the scribes by the Chinese embassy in New Delhi.The cancellation of the journalists’ trip, which was scheduled from July 8 to15, came in the backdrop of a stand-off between Indian and Chinese troops in the Doklam area of the Sikkim sector.
A batch of Indian journalists who were to visit Tibet at the invitation of the Chinese government were informed by the Chinese embassy in New Delhi that the trip has been cancelled.
China every year organises sponsored visit for select Indian journalists to Tibet.
The stand-off between the Indian and Chinese troops had earlier led to the cancellation of the Kailash Mansarovar yatra through Nathu La in Sikkim.
