India and China held a 14th round of military talks earlier this week to resolve the border confrontation between the two countries that began in mid-2020. The corps commander-level talks were held at the Chushul-Moldo border point on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) that separates the armies of the two countries. A joint press release after the talks said that “the two sides had a frank and in-depth exchange of views for the resolution of the relevant issues along the LAC in the Western Sector. They agreed that both sides should follow the guidance provided by the State Leaders and work for the resolution of the remaining issues at the earliest.” The two sides also agreed that “this would help in restoration of peace and tranquility along the LAC in the Western Sector and enable progress in bilateral relations.” They noted that they will maintain “close contact” and continue their engagement through both diplomatic and military channels to “work out a mutually acceptable solution of the remaining issues at the earliest.”
