Indian, Chinese armies hold talks focusing on maintaining peace along LAC
The commanders reviewed the Line of Actual Control and discussed steps to keep the border peaceful after recent diplomatic talks in Beijing.
- On Sunday, Indian and Chinese military commanders met at the Wacha-Damai border point in Arunachal Pradesh's Kibithoo region to review the Line of Actual Control, led by Lieutenant General Girish Kalia, commander of the Indian Army's III Corps, and a senior People's Liberation Army officer.
- This meeting occurred days after National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held Special Representative talks in Beijing, where both sides agreed to promptly address ground situations through existing diplomatic and military channels.
- Reports of aggressive military posturing in Upper Subansiri prompted the focus on stability, following July tensions when locals sighted soldiers in a 'not-demarcated part' of the border near Taksing village.
- China claims the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, calling it Nanzang in government communication, while National Security Advisor Doval stated that normalcy in bilateral ties depends on maintaining peace and tranquillity in border areas.
- Following severe strain from the 2020 Galwan Valley clashes, both sides aim to rebuild their bilateral relationship, with India officially standardizing 27 location names in Arunachal Pradesh in August to counter Chinese cartographic campaigns.
