India, China talks on military disengagement |
India and China held the 11th round of talks at Chushul BPO in eastern Ladakh on India side on 9th April 2021 with the intention to create military disengagement at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Corps Commanders of both countries discussed disengagement from remaining friction points in the region. After nearly one year of face-off in the eastern Ladakh region, the core commanders met for the 11th time at Chushul on the Indian side. The Indian delegation was led by GoC of 14 Corps LtGen PGK Menon, while the South Xinjiang military commander Maj Gen Liu Lin led the PLA delegation. Following last year`s bloody summer, operational preparedness and a multi-level engagement to restore peace and tranquillity in the region are yielding results. Today`s corps commander level talks focussed on other friction points like Gogra, Hot Springs, and Depsang plains in Ladakh. Southern banks and finger areas of Pangong Tso have seen the smooth completion of disengagement after ten rounds of talks. However, certain concerns on Pangong finger areas, and within the Indian perception of the LAC at other standoff points, also came up for discussion. On Thursday, China had said that there will be no delay in talks with India to discuss the disengagement of troops from eastern Ladakh. However, the long perception line of control in eastern Ladakh is always challenging.
