India and China
are scheduled to hold their sixth Corps
Commander-level talks on Monday at the Chinese side of the Chushul/Moldo
meeting point in the Eastern Ladakh sector to address the ongoing military
standoff there.
According to sources, Naveen Srivastava, Joint Secretary (East Asia) of the
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), will also attend the Commanders' Conference
today.
The Corps
Commanders of the two sides would be meeting after more than a month as both
sides had been engaged in at least three firing incidents that have taken place
along the Line
of Actual Control (LAC).
The corps
commanders would be meeting at the Moldo meeting hut opposite Chushul on the
Indian side.
The agenda and
issues to be raised by the Indian side in the meeting were discussed and
finalised during a high-level meeting attended by National Security Advisor
(NSA) Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat and Army
Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane last week on Friday.
India is likely to
press for simultaneous disengagement and de-escalation by the Chinese side in
the Eastern Ladakh sector during the meeting of two Corps Commanders.
The ground
commanders had been talking to each other on an almost daily basis on the
ground.
The talks are
happening at a time when the Indian side has also occupied six major hill
features which are helping the Indian Army to be in dominating positions on
heights.
