India, China Hold Major General-level Talks at DBO, Chushul

Date:

New Delhi: Two days after the 19th round of India-China Corps Commander level meeting was concluded at the Chushul-Moldo border, representatives from the Indian and Chinese army met for Major General-level talks at DBO and Chushul on August 18 to resolve the ongoing stand-off in eastern Ladakh.

According to a media agency report which quoted defence sources, the Indian side was represented at the two locations by Major General PK Mishra and Major General Hariharan. The talks are being held to resolve the issues at Depsang Plains and CNN Junction. The two countries have been locked in a border conflict for more than three years along certain points in the northern union territory.

The two sides had met for the 19th round of China-India Corps Commander Level Meeting at the Chushul-Moldo border meeting point on August 13-14. The talks occurred in a “candid and pragmatic atmosphere” on the Indian side of the border. However a joint press release did not give any indications of a breakthrough in the disengagement of troops at the remaining friction points.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin on August 16 said, “China commends the progress made through the meeting. In a candid and pragmatic atmosphere, the two sides had a positive, constructive and in-depth discussion on the resolution of the remaining issues along the LAC in the Western Sector.”

After the Galwan Valley clash in June 2020 – extensive military and diplomatic talks have led to a gradual disengagement along the border. While the process was completed on the north and south banks of the Pangong lake and in the Gogra area in 2021, certain areas in eastern Ladakh remain a point of concern.
