New Delhi, July 30
India today said more meetings at the military level were needed because the process of disengagement of Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) had not been completed.
"We expect that the Chinese side will sincerely work with us for complete disengagement and de-escalation and full restoration of peace and tranquillity in border areas at the earliest," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said at a virtual briefing.
Speaking minutes after the Chinese Ambassador to India Sun Weidong again accused Indian troops of breaking an understanding between military commanders not to transgress the LAC in the Galwan valley, Srivastava said there had been some progress towards disengagement, but the process had not been completed.
The Chinese envoy said Indian troops had been making roads, bridges and infrastructure in the Galwan valley area since April. Following representations from China, India agreed to withdraw its troops and dismantle the infrastructure. On June 15 evening, Indian troops crossed the LAC and attacked Chinese soldiers, leading to a physical clash. — TNS
