The change occurs while China is delaying the negotiations for withdrawal in Ladakh’s conflict zones.
For more than two years, Indian and Chinese troops have been locked in a standoff at a number of flashpoints in eastern Ladakh.
As a consequence of high-level military talks, the two parties carried out disengagement procedures in a number of regions in the region. However, neither party has yet to achieve any success in resolving the conflict at the remaining places of contention.
The 16th and most recent India-China Corps Commander Level Meeting took place at the Chushul-Moldo border crossing on the Indian side on July 17.
At the most recent round of military negotiations, the two sides did not, however, achieve any progress in resolving the issues concerning the remaining points of friction in eastern Ladakh, but they agreed to continue talking in order to find a solution as soon as possible that would be acceptable to both parties.
