India, China participate in border talks
Beijing: The 26th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China Border Affairs (WMCC) was held on Wednesday in person in Beijing, officials said on Wednesday.
This was the first WMCC meeting since the 14th meeting held in July 2019, to be held in person.
Joint Secretary (East Asia) from the Ministry of External Affairs led the Indian delegation.
The Chinese delegation was led by Director General of the Boundary & Oceanic Affairs Department of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"The two sides reviewed the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Western Sector of India-China border areas and discussed proposals for disengagement in the remaining areas in an open and constructive manner, which would help in restoration of peace and tranquillity along the LAC in Western Sector and create conditions for restoration of normalcy in bilateral relations," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.
To achieve this objective in accordance with the existing bilateral agreements and protocols, they agreed to hold the next (18th) round of the Senior Commanders meeting at an early date.
The two sides agreed to continue discussions through military and diplomatic channels.
