The sixth round of Corps commander-level talks began at around 9 am in Moldo on the Chinese side of the LAC across India’s Chushul sector in eastern Ladakh, they said. The Indian delegation is headed by Lt Gen Harinder Singh, the commander of the Leh-based 14 Corps of the Indian Army. The team also included a joint secretary-level officer from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and Lt. Gen PGK Menon, who is expected to succeed Singh as the commander of the 14 Corps.

The sources said the agenda for the Monday talks was to chart a specific timeline for implementation of the agreement reached between the two countries at a meeting on the sidelines of a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meet on September 10. The agreement aimed at ending the over four-month-long border standoff included measures like quick disengagement of troops, avoiding action that could escalate tensions along the LAC.
