India and China have agreed to hold the 12th round of Senior Commander-level meeting at an early date to discuss the remaining issues along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh.
Both the countries took to a mutual decision as another round of talks were held for solving the dragged border standoff in eastern Ladakh. Both the countries took a decision to maintain dialogue and communication through diplomatic and military mechanisms to achieve a target of complete disengagement from all the friction points along the LAC to ensure peace. Also, India and China will ensure stability on the ground and prevent any untoward incident.
There was frank exchange of views in the virtual meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) on border affairs on the situation along the LAC.
The meeting was held many days after the foreign offices of India and China blamed each other for a building-up troops along the LAC in eastern Ladakh. A military standoff between India and China in the Ladakh region happened in early May last year followed by a violent clash in the Pangong lake areas.
