The marathon dialogue between India and China’s senior military commanders on Sunday did not produce any results. The Chinese military is unwilling to resolve the conflict and demotion of the remaining three friction points on the Eastern Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh.
The remaining friction points are the hot springs, the Depsang bulge and the Chating Nullah. Judging from the statements issued by the two armies, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army does not intend to go beyond the downgrade agreement reached in the twelfth round of dialogue. China’s statement is ethical and asks India to cherish past resolutions. Colonel Long Shaohua, spokesperson for the Western Theater of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, said in a statement: “India should not misjudge the situation, but should cherish the hard-won situation in the Sino-Indian border area.” Monday.
During the talks, the Indian side pointed out that the situation along the line of actual control was caused by China’s unilateral attempt to change the status quo and violated bilateral agreements.
Therefore, it is necessary for China to take appropriate measures in the remaining areas to restore peace and tranquility along the line of actual control in the western section. The Indian statement added that this is in line with the guidance provided by the foreign ministers of the two countries during their recent meeting in Dushanbe, and they agreed to resolve the remaining issues as soon as possible. The Indian side emphasized that this settlement in the remaining areas will promote progress in bilateral relations. According to officials, the 13th round of negotiations began at 10:30 am on Sunday in Moldo on the Chinese side of LAC.
More than two months after the last round of negotiations resulted in the disengagement of troops deployed at Gogra or Patrol Point-17A in early August, this was one of the flashpoints of skirmishes on the border. Officials said earlier that the disengagement of hostile soldiers deployed in Hot Springs is the agenda of the latest round of negotiations. This negotiation coincides with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s large-scale military construction and infrastructure construction across the line of actual control, and the Indian army’s actions match China’s actions. In February, the two sides withdrew their troops and weapons from Bangongcuo in Ladakh.
Despite two rounds of disengagement at the friction point this year, the two armies still have 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers each and possess advanced weapons and equipment in eastern Ladakh.
