China refused to allow the visit of the Indian army's General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Area Command, because he was responsible for Jammu & Kashmir, a state that China maintained was disputed. Delhi was stunned when Beijing responded to his nomination by saying that it was unwilling to "welcome" Gen Jaswal because he "controlled" a disputed area, Jammu and Kashmir. In response India refused permission to two Chinese defense officials to come to India for a course at the National Defense College. A subsequent visit by Indian military officials to China was also canceled by India.
