India, China hold 16th round of Corps Commander talks
The HinduIndia and China held the 16th round of Corps Commander level talks on Sunday for over 12 hours as the two sides attempted to revive the stalled process of disengagement and de-escalation in Eastern Ladakh. Since the stand-off began in May 2020, the two sides have so far held 15 rounds of talks with disengagement undertaken from both sides of Pangong Tso in February 2021, and from PP 17 in the Gogra-Hot Springs area in August, in addition to Galwan in 2020 after the violent clash. The 15th round of Corps Commander talks took place on March 11, 2022. Shortly after the 15th round of talks in March, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had visited India while he and Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar met last week on the sidelines of the G-20 Foreign Ministers meeting in Bali where they discussed the situation along the Line of Actual Control.
