ISTANBUL: China and India have agreed to “maintain peace” along the contentious points in the Ladakh area of the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region.

The agreement was reached during the 19th round of China-India corps commander level meeting which was held at the Chushul-Moldo border meeting point in Ladakh along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) on Sunday and Monday, Anadolu Agency reported.

“In the interim, the two sides agreed to maintain the peace and tranquillity on the ground in the border areas,” read the statement released from Beijing and New Delhi late Tuesday.

It also said the two sides exchanged views “in an open and forward looking manner.”

“They agreed to resolve the remaining issues in an expeditious manner and maintain the momentum of dialogue and negotiations through military and diplomatic channels,” the joint statement added.

China and India have remained locked in a standoff along the LAC since May 2020.
