NEW DELHI, Oct 4:
The seventh round of Corps Commander-level talks between armies of India and China is scheduled to take place on October 12 with a specific agenda of firming up a roadmap for disengagement of troops from friction points in Eastern Ladakh, Government sources said today.
At the talks, the two sides are also expected to look into further steps to maintain stability on the ground and avoid any action that may trigger fresh tension in the region where troops from both sides will be facing difficult conditions in the next four months due to harsh winters, they said.
A senior official of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is set to be part of the Indian delegation at the talks which will be led by Lt Gen Harinder Singh, the commander of the Leh-based 14 Corps of the Indian Army, the sources said.
Lt Gen PGK Menon, who will succeed Lt Gen Singh as the Commander of the crucial corps in mid-October, will also join the Indian team at the seventh round of military talks, they said.
Following the last round of military talks on September 21, the two sides announced a slew of decisions including not sending more troops to the frontline, refraining from unilaterally changing the situation on the ground and avoiding any actions that may further complicate matters. (PTI)
