India, China Corps Commanders hold talks in Arunachal Pradesh

India and China held Corps Commander-level talks in Arunachal Pradesh on Sunday, addressing ongoing issues along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The discussions took place at the Wacha-Damai border meeting point in the Kibithoo sector, with Lt General Girish Kalia, commander of the Army’s III Corps, meeting his Chinese counterpart and other officers.

This marks the first senior military commander-level talks between India and China in recent months, following a meeting between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on August 25. The talks come amid tensions in the Taksing area of the Upper Subansiri district and follow 23 rounds of Corps Commander-level meetings in eastern Ladakh to resolve issues related to the military standoff.

Former Chief of Defence Staff Lt Gen Anil Chauhan (retd) described these developments as positive, emphasizing the need for vigilance, credible capabilities, clear agreements, and consistent adherence to maintain stability along the LAC.
