Talks between the two governments are taking place to end the impasse caused by the incursions
Indian Army is yet to react to requests by the People's Liberation Army for a flag meeting near the Line of Actual Control
New Delhi: In order to send a strong message to China following the ongoing two-week standoff at Chumar in Ladakh after Chinese border incursions there, the Indian Army is yet to react to requests by the People’s Liberation Army for a flag meeting near the Line of Actual Control, while talks between the two governments are taking place to end the impasse caused by the incursions.
Chinese ambassador Le Yucheng met senior external affairs ministry officials Wednesday, when the issue was discussed, but MEA officials dismissed reports that the ambassador was summoned by them.
“Meetings can take place but it does not mean that an Ambassador has been summoned,” said an MEA official. The stand-off is also understood to have beendiscussed at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security — chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi ahead of his visit to the United States. The Army is alsokeeping the government apprised of the latest developments in the situation on the ground at Chumar.
Earlier, the MEA had maintained that “diplomacy is quietly at work” between the two countries to resolve the stand-off issue following talks between Mr Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping recently.
