JAMMU, Aug 11: India and China are likely to hold the 19th round of Corps Commander level talks on August 14 at the Chushul-Moldo meeting point in the Eastern Ladakh sector to resolve the ongoing military standoff between the two countries for over three years.
“The Indian side would be led by Fire and Fury Corps Commander Lt Gen Rashim Bali for the talks with representatives of the Chinese military on August 14. Officials from Ministry of External Affairs and ITBP are also expected to be part of the talks. The two sides are likely to discuss the issues related to DBO and CNN junction along with other matters. India would also be pressing for disengagement from the Eastern Ladakh front,” sources said.
This meeting is taking place after a gap of around four months. The last meeting between the two sides at the Corps Commander level was held in April this year.
The meeting is taking place when both sides are engaged in rapid construction activities along the border areas to strengthen their respective positions.
