India and China military delegates deliberated for over 12 hours
focusing on disengagement at Patrolling Point 15 -- Hot Springs.
The
Wednesday meeting between the military commanders of the two countries
at Moldo on the Chinese side started at 10 a.m. and ended at 10.30 p.m.
This the 14th round of military talks between India and China to resolve
the border dispute.
Talking about the military discussions,
Indian Army chief General M.M. Naravane said on Wednesday that he hoped
for some positive developments in the days ahead.
Along the
Northern Borders, the Indian Army has continued to maintain the highest
levels of operational preparedness, while engaging in sustained dialogue
with the People's Liberation Army, Gen Naravane had said.
"We
hope to resolve Patrolling Point 15 (Hot Spring) in the current round of
talks. Once that is done we will look at other issues which predate the
current standoff," he said.
After persistent joint efforts,
mutual dis-engagement has taken place at many locations. "So there has
been positive movement," the Indian Army Chief said.
Replying to a
query about the positive developments, the officer explained, "Talks
have been going on for a long time. It is a good thing that talks are
going on. We have to keep talking to each other. The 4-5th round of
talks resulted in resolving patrolling point 14, the 9-10th round North
and South Bank and Kailash ranges and subsequently patrolling point 17."
However, the Indian Army chief said that while there has been partial disengagement, the threat has by no means reduced.
General
Naravne said the force levels in areas where disengagement is yet to
take place have been adequately enhanced. Threat assessment and internal
deliberations have resulted in the reorganisation and realignment of
forces in keeping with the Army's mandate of ensuring territorial
integrity and to cater for the major augmentation of the PLA forces, and
military infrastructure.
Just ahead of talks, China has implemented new border law and has also renamed 15 places in Arunachal Pradesh on its map.
India and China have been engaged in an intense border dispute for around two years and are now in talks to resolve the issues.
