Both countries will further carry out talks. On September 21, the Indian and Chinese Senior Commanders held the 6th round of the Military Commander-Level Meeting.
“The two sides had candid and in-depth exchanges of views on stabilizing the situation along the LAC,” the Indian Army said.
“They agreed to strengthen communication on the ground, avoid misunderstandings and misjudgments, stop sending more troops to the frontline, refrain from unilaterally changing the situation on the ground, and avoid taking any actions that may complicate the situation.”
