New Delhi: India on Thursday called for "peaceful" resolution of the spat over China's new air defence zone, which is likely to adversely impact Air India flights to Japan.
Asserting that it does not support "threat as well as use of force" in the matter, India also refused to take sides.
Asked about the current controversy over Chinese Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ), the minister said, "You know our position is the standard position that we believe in this region any issue must be resolved between the concerned parties through dialogue in a peaceful way.
Last month, China announced a new ADIZ and said aircraft flying through the zone must follow its rules, including filing flight plans.
The implementation is also likely to adversely impact Air India's Boeing 787 Dreamliners on the New Delhi-Tokyo route due to extremely narrow flight corridor being enforced by China in its airspace.
