Chinese President Xi Jinping has said that his country has "not provoked a conflict or war, or occupied a single inch of foreign land".
Xi's remarks came at a dinner on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in the US.
The statement is in contrast with several reports that have claimed that China has occupied India's land in the Ladakh region and there have been skirmishes between the armies of the two countries.
Meanwhile, Jinping and US President Joe Biden held bilateral talks, where both leaders pledged to reduce tensions.
During the meeting, Biden raised concerns over China's human rights abuses, including in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong.
