The 16^th round of Corps Commander-level talks between India and China will be held on the Indian side at Chushul-Moldo Meeting Point on July the 17^th on Sunday.

According to sources the talks are in continuation with the discussion on disengagement along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh.

The Indian delegation at the talks will be represented by Fire and Fury Corps Commander Lt Gen A Sengupta.

It may be recalled that 15^th round of military level talks with China was held on March the 11^th earlier this year.

During that meeting the two sides carried forward their discussions from the previous round held on January the 12^th, 2022, for the resolution of the relevant issues along the LAC in the Western Sector.

India and China have been engaged in a standoff since April-May 2020 over the transgressions by the Chinese Army in multiple areas including the Finger area, Galwan Valley, Hot springs, and Kongrung Nala.

The situation worsened after violent clashes with Chinese troops in Galwan Valley in June 2020.
The talks have led to disengagement from some areas including the North and South Banks of Pangong Tso and Galwan but some friction points remain to be resolved till date.
