China denies report of plan to build tunnel to divert Brahmaputra waters
China today rejected as "false and untrue" a media report that it was planning to build a 1,000-
km long tunnel to divert water from the Brahmaputra river in Tibet close to Arunachal Pradesh to the parched Xinjiang region.
Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post yesterday said that Chinese engineers were testing techniques that could be used to build the tunnel, the world's longest.
"This is untrue. This is a false report," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told a media briefing when asked about the report.
China will continue to attach great importance to cross-border river cooperation, she said.
