New Delhi: Against the backdrop of recent incursions by the Chinese troops, India and China today held a flag meeting in eastern Ladakh where the Indian side is understood to have raised concerns over detention of its natioanls by the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
The flag meeting has come after a recent incident where PLA troops had apprehended five Indian nationals in the Chumar area and took them to their camp across the LAC in an apparent bid to stake their claim on the area.
The flag meeting was held at a designated meeting place in Eastern Ladakh where the two sides discussed the issues faced by them and sought to address them under the existing mechanisms, sources said here.
After the two countries signed the Border Defence Cooperation Agreement (BDCA) in Beijing, they have agreed to resolve their issues under the mechanisms provided by the new pact aiming to prevent flare-ups between their troops.
