The 21st round of India-China Corps Commander Level Meeting took place at the Chushul-Moldo border meeting point in the Leh district of Ladakh, India, on Monday (February 19).
The discussions focused on advancing from previous rounds, aiming for complete disengagement in the remaining areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh, seen as crucial for restoring peace in the India-China border regions.
Both sides agreed to sustain communication through relevant military and diplomatic channels and pledged to uphold peace and tranquility on the ground in the border areas during this interim period.
Last October, the 20th round of India-China Corps Commander Level Meeting was convened at the Chushul-Moldo border meeting point on the Indian side. In the previous round of military talks, the Indian side strongly pressed for the resolution of lingering issues at the twin friction points of Depsang and Demchok.
Since the initiation of the Corps Commander-level talks in 2020, both parties have successfully facilitated disengagement from five friction points — Galwan, the north and south banks of Pangong Tso, and Patrolling Points (PP) 15 and 17A in the Gogra-Hot Springs area.
India has consistently underscored that normalising bilateral relations with China hinges on resolving the standoff.
