Line drawn before military officers meeting
It is worth mentioning that a similar situation arose in the year 2017 on the Doklam (Bhutan-China-India) border. At that time also, the armies of the two countries stood before each other. For almost 73 days, both sides were extremely stressed. Then after several stages of negotiations at the level of the Ministry of External Affairs, the military gathering was reduced. It is worth mentioning that in April 2018, when the first informal conversation between PM Narendra Modi and President Xi Shinfing was held, it was agreed that no dispute will be allowed to become a big fight.
This is how the Doklam dispute was resolved
This time, the Chinese Army PLA troops have infiltrated the Galvan region of eastern Ladakh for a month. Seeing the increasing military activities of China, India has also started increasing its troops there. Explain that there is an 857 km long border between the two countries in the Ladakh region. It has an international border of 368 km, ie there is no dispute between the two countries, but the area of 489 km is LAC, which is a dispute. The entire part of it is open for five months only during the summer season.
