For a better exchange of ideas and comprehension of the Chinese PLA’s account of their operations during various interactions, including Corps Commander-level discussions, flag meetings, joint exercises, and Border Personnel Meetings, they claimed that an increasing number of Mandarin experts are needed (BPMs).
In order to provide its men with Mandarin language training, the Army has already signed memorandums of understanding (MoU) with the Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), the Central University of Gujarat (CUG), and the Shiv Nadar University (SNU).
The Langma School of Languages in Delhi, among other civilian institutions, examine the trained soldiers’ language skills to determine their degree of proficiency in conformity with international standards, according to the sources.
The Indian and Chinese troops engaged in a border standoff on May 5, 2020, following a bloody altercation at Pangong Lake. Following the battles in the Galwan Valley on June 15, 2020, the standoff intensified.
Both sides accelerated their deployment by hurriedly bringing in large numbers of soldiers and powerful weapons.
Following a series of negotiations at the military and diplomatic levels, the two parties finished the disengagement process last year on the north and south banks of the Pangong lake as well as in the Gogra region.
