Disengagement  

"The two sides are likely to disengage from some of the friction points in next few days and they have been discussing the modalities for doing so in a phased manner," defence sources told ANI
 

New Delhi and Beijing held their 19th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) on India-China border affairs on Wednesday (September 30).

India is likely to press for simultaneous disengagement and de-escalation by the Chinese side in the Eastern Ladakh sector during the meeting of two Corps Commanders.

India and China have held five rounds of Lieutenant General-level talks for disengagement from the eastern Ladakh sector but not much success has been achieved in that direction
 

India said it is committed to disengagement and de-escalating the situation on the LAC but “China continues to undertake provocative activities to escalate.”

The key focus of the fifth round of corps commander-level talks is expected to be finalising a framework for total disengagement of troops from friction points in a time-bound manner, the sources said.

Senior commanders of the two militaries will be meeting in the "near future" to work out steps to complete the process of disengagement.
 

Days after the standoff between India and China at the Galwan Valley in Eastern Ladakh, the Indian Army has said that both the neighbouring countries are committed to the objective of complete disengagement. We spoke to Retired Major General GD Bakshi and asked if despite disengagement talks can India trust China and here’s what he had to say.

China has completed disengagement at three points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and another round of talks will take place under the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) mechanism
