As a lower Riparian state with considerable established user rights to water of the trans-border rivers, we consistently conveyed concerns to China.” “We have urged them to ensure that interest of downstream states isn't harmed by activities in upstream areas. The Chinese side has conveyed to us on several occasions that they are only undertaking run of river hydropower projects which don't involve diversion of waters of Brahmaputra,” he added. “Various issues relating to transborder rivers discussed with China under ambit of institutionalised expert-level mechanism established in 2006 and as well via diplomatic channels. We intend to remain engaged with China on issue of transborder rivers to safeguard our interests,” MEA spokesperson further stated.
