Ladakh Border News: 9th round of talks between Indian and Chinese armies, but what will the dragon believe?

After a gap of about two and a half months, the Indian and Chinese armies held the 9th round of Corps Commander level on Sunday. The aim is to move forward on the process of removing troops from all confrontational locations in eastern Ladakh. Sources said the high-level military dialogue began at 10 am in the Moldo border area on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

Earlier, in the eighth round of talks held on 6 November, the two sides discussed extensively on the withdrawal of troops from specific places of confrontation. The Indian delegation was led by Lieutenant General PGK Menon, commander of the 14th Corps at Leh. India has been consistently saying that it is the responsibility of China to carry forward the process of withdrawing troops from all the conflict zones in the mountainous region and reduce the tension.

At least 50,000 Indian Army personnel are still deployed in various mountainous areas in eastern Ladakh with preparations for war. In fact, no concrete result has been involved in several rounds of talks between the two countries to resolve the deadlock. According to officials, China has deployed an equal number of troops.

Last month, India and China held another round of diplomatic talks under the ‘Executive Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination’ (WMCC) framework on border matters, but the talks did not yield any concrete results. Following the sixth round of military talks, the two sides announced a series of decisions, including not sending more troops on the front fronts, unilateral efforts to change the ground situation, and abstaining from any activity that would complicate matters.
