The talks of the India-china Corps commander-level began at around 11:30 am at Moldo on the Chinese side of Chushul sector in eastern Ladakh and ended at around 11:30 pm. The talks may continue on Tuesday.

The Indian delegation was led by 14 Corps Commander Lt Gen Harinder Singh while the Chinese were headed by the Commander of the Tibet Military District at the talks in Moldo.

This is the second round of Corps commander-level talks. The first round was held on June 6 at the same venue during which both sides finalised an agreement to disengage gradually from all standoff points beginning with Galwan Valley.

However, the situation along the border deteriorated following the violent clashes on June 15 as the two sides significantly bolstered their deployments in most areas along the 3,500-km de-facto border.

Though China has not revealed its casualty figure, there were reports that a commanding officer of the Chinese army was among those killed in the clashes. There is no official confirmation about it.
