The 13th round of talks between Indian and Chinese military commanders over the standoff in Eastern Ladakh on Sunday collapsed, said the Indian Army. In a statement issued on Monday morning, the Army said that the Chinese side was not “agreeable” and “could not provide any forward-looking proposals”.
“During the 13th round of India-China Corps Commanders meeting yesterday, discussions between the two sides focussed on resolution of the remaining issues along LAC in Eastern Ladakh,” the Indian Army said.
“During the meeting, the Indian side made constructive suggestions for resolving the remaining areas but the Chinese side was not agreeable & also could not provide any forward-looking proposals. The meeting thus did not result in the resolution of the remaining areas,” the statement added.
The Army, however, said that the two sides have agreed to maintain communications and also to maintain stability on the ground. “It is our expectation that the Chinese side will take into account the overall perspective of bilateral relations & will work towards early resolution of the remaining issues,” it said.
