Indian and Chinese military officials are pretty much ready to hold high delegation-level talks today in an attempt to resolve the month-long row over the Line of Actual Control.
Saturday’s meeting will start with an informal meeting and greeting among the officials followed by a breakfast event for the officials. The formal delegation-level talks will begin thereafter.
The location
The talks will take place at the Chinese-side of the Chushul-Moldo Border meeting point.
The delegation
The Indian delegation of officials will include Lt Gen Harinder Singh, the commander of 14 Corps along with 10 other officers who were part of the earlier meetings with the Chinese counterparts.
On the other hand, the Chinese side of the delegation will be represented by Major General Lin Liu, Corps Commander, South Xinjiang Military Division and 10 other officers from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) who were part of earlier talks with India.
Tensions built up along the LAC following violent clashes between hundreds of Indian and Chinese troops in the Sikkim and Ladakh sectors last month. Army officers of the two sides have held several meetings along the disputed border but have been unable to break the impasse.
