12th round of India-China talks underway, will focus on Hot Springs, Gogra
During the meeting India said that China must fully withdraw from all friction points in Ladakh and restore the pre April 2020 status quo. In the past the two sides have held 11 rounds of talks, but there has been only limited success.
However there was one significant development when disengagement took place in the Pangong Tso sector in February after nine rounds of talks. Both armies have around 50,000 stationed at the Ladakh theatre.
