India, China talks end on ‘positive trajectory

Sources said the meeting was “positive” and could eventually lead to restoration of status quo ante in eastern Ladakh, with both sides de-inducting soldiers and heavy weaponry from the confrontation sites at the northern bank of Pangong Tso (Tso means lake), Gogra-Hot Springs area and Galwan Valley region in a phased manner. The points lie along the LAC with Chinese troops having intruded into the Indian side at places leading to counter-mobilisation.
