India, China hold 16th round of Corps Commander talks
Rezang La War Memorial On Sunday (July 17, 2022), the 16th Corps Commander-level talks between India and China lasted more than 12 hours as both sides attempted to resume the stalled process of disengagement and de-escalation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh. However, problems at Patrol Point-15 near Kongka La, Depsang Bulge in Daulet Beg Oldi sector, and Charding Nullah Junction (CNJ) in Demchok sector were a few sticking points in the talks. The talks were held at the Chushul-Moldo border point on the Indian side. According to government sources, Lieutenant General A. Sengupta, Commander of 14 Corps led the Indian team during the 9.30 a.m. start of the talks. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar initiated the effort to resume negotiations to defuse the tense situation following the military standoff in May 2020 during a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Bali at the beginning of this month on the sidelines of the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting
