Senior military commanders of India and China will hold talks at the corps commander level on July 17, in another effort to finalize the de-escalation of border tensions in the Himalayas, it was disclosed.
The armies of the two nations remain locked in a standoff that originated in May 2020 in the eastern Indian territory of Ladahk in the Kashmir region.
The two countries held several rounds of dialogue at diplomatic, military and political levels and as a result achieved a partial withdrawal of their troops from some of the sticking points, and now seek to reach a full resolution of the issue.
The parties withdrew their troops and combat assets from the Galwan Valley, Pangong Lake and the Gogra-Hot Springs area, but still maintain around 60,000 troops each deployed in the Ladakh region as well as advanced weaponry.
During the 16th round of talks, they will discuss further distancing along the so-called Line of Actual Control, which acts as a tentative boundary between India and China.
Sunday’s talks will take place on the Chinese side of the border at the town of Moldo, and Lt. Gen. A. Sengupta will lead the Indian delegation to the meeting, the Financial Express website said.
