10th round of military talks today

The disengagement of Indian Army and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) forces in eastern Ladakh’s Pangong Tso area ended Friday, and senior military commanders of the two sides will meet on Saturday to discuss the next round of disengagement at other friction points along the contested LAC, people familiar with the development said.

The 10th round of talks between corps commanderranked officers of the two armies will focus on disengagement at other friction points in eastern Ladakh, an official said. The senior commanders will meet at Moldo on the Chinese side of the LAC.

Outstanding problems with PLA at Depsang, Hot Springs and Gogra, all friction points on the border, will be on the table during the 10th round of military talks. “We are hopeful of positive outcomes at the talks, given the way things progressed in Pangong Tso,” the official added.

The India-china border standoff in the sensitive Ladakh sector began last May.

In a video released by China's CCTV on Friday, Indian and Chinese soldiers are seen engaged in a clash in Galwan Valley on June 15, 2020.
