India-China are holding another round of Corps Commander-level talks as discussions between the two armies take place in Chushul, in Leh district to resolve the ongoing dispute over Chinese aggression along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh region.
Today's meeting is the third round of Corps Commander-level meeting between India and China. Lieutenant General Harinder Singh, 14 Corps Commander, is leading the Indian delegation while the Chinese delegation is led by South Xinjiang Military District chief Major General Liu Lin.
