India-China standoff: More rounds of negotiations ahead

After marathon 14-hour talks between India and China at the Corps Commander level on Monday, both sides today released a joint statement saying that two countries had decided to stop sending more troops to the frontline in eastern Ladakh.

The joint statement from India and China stated that both sides will enhance communication to avoid misunderstandings and also implement the five-point consensus reached by foreign ministers S Jaishankar and Wang Yi at the sidelines of the SCO summit in Moscow earlier this month. India and China will soon also be holding the 7th round of Corps Commander-level talks to resolve the border faceoff in Ladakh.
