Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday had expressed that India wanted a resolution of the decades-old border issue with China “as soon as possible”.
Army Chief General MM Naravane said Saturday morning that the “situation along our borders with China is under control” and a series of meetings between senior military commanders from both sides had resulted in “a lot of disengagement” and that “all perceived differences that we (India and China) have will be set to rest”.
“I would like to assure everyone that the entire situation along our borders with China is under control. We’re having a series of talks which started with Corps Commander level and has been followed up with meetings at local levels between commanders of equivalent ranks,” General Naravne said, reported news agency ANI.
“As a result, a lot of disengagement has taken place and we are hopeful that through the continued dialogue we’re having, all perceived differences that we (India and China) have will be set to rest,” he further added.
The two sides held further talks on Friday at the Major General-level this time to resolve the stand-off. This was the fifth round of talks since the stand-off situation in Ladakh’s Pangong Tso lake and Galwan region in Eastern Ladakh.
This week government sources had confirmed that Indian and Chinese troops have started disengagement in some parts of Eastern Ladakh. A “significant” number of Chinese troops had pulled back by three kilometres, sources had said. In a reciprocating gesture, India had also pulled back some of its troops.
