Against the backdrop of flaring of tensions on India – China borders, which has now spread to Arunachal Pradesh sector, senior military commanders of two sides held talks this week, there was no indication of forward movement in addressing the 30-month face-off in Ladakh sector.
Corps Commanders of two countries have held talks on the Chinese side of the Chusul Moldo border meeting point on December 20, just 11 days after several Indian and Chinese soldiers were injured in a clash along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) at Yangtse, located near Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh.

India and China exchanged views on resolution of relevant issues in an open and constructive manner
The two parties engaged in an open and productive discussion about how to resolve the pertinent issues along the LAC in the Western Sector, building on the progress made since the last meeting on July 17, 2022.
“They had a frank and in-depth discussion,” the defence ministry continued, “keeping in line with the guidance provided by the State leaders to work for the resolution of the remaining issues at the earliest possible time which would help in restoration of peace and tranquilly along the LAC in the Western Sector and enable progress in bilateral relations.”
The Western Sector’s security and stability would be maintained in the interim, the statement continued.
The two parties agreed to keep constant communication, continue their engagement through diplomatic and military channels, and resolve any outstanding concerns as soon as possible to their mutual satisfaction.
It was 17th round of Corps Commander Level talks and first one after December 9 stand-off at Yangtse
The first meeting round following the standoff on December 9 was the 17th. A fight broke out when some 300 PLA troops tried to cross the Line of Actual Control in the Yangtse region of Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh.
According to a source, soldiers from China and India were hurt during the conflict. Six of the hurt Indian jawans were admitted to the military hospital in Guwahati, but there was no mention of casualties or major injuries.
The sources claim that China has made numerous attempts to seize control of the 17,000-foot-high summit. According to sources within the Indian Army, India has a tight grip on the peak, which offers commanding views of both sides of the border.
