Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi met foreign secretary Vikram Misri ahead of talks with vice foreign minister Sun Weidong, the latest in a series of engagements
Vikram Misri is expected to hold talks with China’s vice foreign minister Sun Weidong, who was the envoy to India at the start of the standoff on the LAC.
Jaiswal recalled that external affairs minister S Jaishankar had emphasised that the “task of de-escalation remains to be addressed” in Ladakh sector of the LAC
The Army chief’s remark comes at a time when India is pressing for de-escalation of the conflict in the sensitive theatre on the back of the recent disengagement of Indian and Chinese armies from Depsang and Demchok
Corps commanders along the entire stretch of the LAC, from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, have been delegated powers to resolve “trivial issues and minor frictions”.
