Earlier in October, India announced it had reached an agreement with China on patrolling along the LAC in eastern Ladakh, a major breakthrough in ending the over four-year-long military standoff.
Earlier last week, the External Affairs Ministry told the media in New Delhi that the Indian Army has commenced verification patrolling at Depsang, the second friction point in eastern Ladakh.
Sources had earlier said that the areas and patrolling status were expected to be moved back to pre-April 2020 level.
The Chinese military said it hoped the Indian side would work together with Beijing to take important common understandings between the two leaders as guidance continuously implement the mentioned resolutions and jointly safeguard peace and tranquillity along the border areas.
The statement from the Defence Minister came a week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping endorsed the agreement on patrolling and disengagement along the LAC in eastern Ladakh during their bilateral meeting.
The sources said that the coordinated patrolling would start soon by both sides and added the ground commanders would continue to hold talks.
Earlier on Tuesday, an Indian Army official said the disengagement process in the Depsang and Demchok areas of the Eastern Ladakh sector is almost over.
