INDIA: /CHINA: Per the Associated Press: "India on Thursday cautioned China

against making "exaggerated and untenable claims" on the sovereignty of the

Galvan Valley area even as both nations tried to end a standoff in the high

Himalayan region where their armies engaged in a deadly clash. Twenty Indian

troops were killed in the clash Monday night that was the deadliest conflict

between the sides in 45 years. China has not disclosed whether its forces

suffered any casualties. Responding to China's claim to the valley, India's

External Affairs Ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said both sides have

agreed to handle the situation responsibly. "Making exaggerated and untenable

claims is contrary to this understanding," he said in a statement."
