Focus on pullback at Hot Springs area amid increased Chinese deployment
India and China are likely to hold the 13th round of Corps Commander-level talks next week aimed at resolving the standoff in Eastern Ladakh, said Army Chief General Manoj Naravane on Saturday. The focus would be on working out a disengagement plan from Hot Springs area among others.
“The talks have been going on for more than a year now… We are hopeful to have the 13th round of talks very soon, perhaps as soon as next week i.e. the second week of October,” Gen. Naravane told news agency ANI in Leh during his two day visit to forward areas of Ladakh.
“We are confident that as we discuss things with each other we will be able to reach a consensus on how this disengagement is to take place, and by and by all the friction points get resolved,” he stated.
