NEW DELHI: Following foreign minister S Jaishankar’s remark that India and China have resolved 75% of their “disengagement problems” in eastern Ladakh, China said Friday that the two sides have realised disengagement in four areas in the Western sector, including Galwan valley. The Chinese foreign ministry said that the border situation is generally stable and under control.
India has been pressing China to complete the disengagement and de-escalation process, saying it’s essential for rebuilding the relationship.Disengagement has been achieved in several areas, as Indian govt has confirmed earlier, but there has been no progress in talks to achieve the same in remaining areas like Demchok and Depsang, which are seen by Beijing as legacy issues predating the military standoff that started in May 2020.
“On Sept 12, director Wang Yi met with NSA Ajit Doval in St. Petersburg. The two sides discussed progress made in recent consultation on border issues and agreed to deliver on the common understandings reached by the leaders of the two countries, enhance mutual understanding and trust, create conditions for improving bilateral ties and maintain communication to this end,” said Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning.
“In recent years, front-line armies of the two countries have realised disengagement in four areas in the Western sector of the China-India border, including Galwan valley. The China-India border situation is generally stable and under control,” added the official, responding to queries about Jaishankar’s remark and Doval’s meeting with Wang in St. Petersburg.
Separately, on the Doval-Wang meet, China said they agreed to implement the consensus reached by heads of the two countries, enhance mutual understanding and trust, maintain continuous communication, and create conditions for boosting ties.
Wang expressed the hope that the two sides will properly handle their differences in a pragmatic approach and find the right way to get along with each other and push the China-India relations back on track for healthy, stable, and sustainable development
