New Delhi: India and China will hold the 14th round of upper military talks on January 12, in another offer to relieve the 20-month confrontation in the East Ladakh who have seen them save around 50,000 troops every advanced for the second winter in a row.
There is a careful assessment of “waiting” in the establishment of the Indian defense on Friday, given that the 13th round of Corps Commorder speaks on October 10, ending with a bitter deadlock with China even refusing to complete the troop release in Patrolling Point -15 (PP-15) in the hot springs-gorry-kongkka area.
In addition, the talk next week will be led by new officers, 14 Commander Corps LT-General Anindya Sengupta and Major General Military District Head Lin.
“The meeting, who came after several delays was because China dragged her legs in completing the exact date, it could be an ice breaker between the two new generals.
They might agree to meet for the 15th round immediately,” said a source.
“On the contrary, there may be advanced movements about the release in PP-15 because basically it has been done during the 12th round (July 31).
There are only around 60 soldiers from both parties used at PP-15,” he added.
The source said many would depend on the type of message of President XI Jinping and the Central Military Commission (CMC) wanted to send ahead of the winter Olympics to be held in Beijing from February 4 to 20, followed by Paralympics in March.
India, incidentally, has joined Russia in expressing support for China in holding winter Olympics in their trilateral foreign minister’s virtual meeting in November, which has occurred in the midst of violence by Western countries.
Sources, however, said any resolution of the protrusion that was far more difficult at the crossing of Ninglung Nallah (CNN) charding (CNN) in Demachok and the Plains Depsang located strategically located, followed by overall de-escalation along the border in East Ladakh, not on the horizon until now.
Supply, in particular, remains the main hotspot.
The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has actively blocked Indian soldiers, about 18-km in what India considers its own territory, even going to PPS-10, 11, 12, 12A, and 13 in traditional depens since April-May 2020.
After several PLA attacks to Madakh Timur in May 2020, the release of the troops then took place in the area of ​​Range Pangong Tso-Kailash in February last year and then at PP-17A near the crucial gographer post in early August.
But the overall deadlock still continues, with China continues to consolidate its military position and border infrastructure along the length of the length of 3,488 km from actual control, increase the air base faced by India and also establish villages “multiple use” in disputed areas.
The latest example of this is the construction of a PLA bridge which is ongoing in all Panggong Tso in the Fort Khurnak area for the connectivity of his better army between the north and South Lake Brackish, as reported by TOI earlier this week.
India on Thursday has slammed China to build a bridge in an illegally occupied area by him since 1958, renamed 15 locations in Arunachal Pradesh and “Inappropriate” substances, tones and tenor of letters written by one of their diplomats to their presence on the event Related to Tibet in Delhi.
