Beijing, however, reiterated its claim on the territory of Arunachal Pradesh on Thursday.
The Chinese Defence Ministry on Thursday said that Beijing and New Delhi were able to “reduce differences” and build “some consensus” on the disengagement of troops along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh, reported The Indian Express.
Both countries would maintain dialogue and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution by an “early date”, said the ministry.
The statements came after a meeting between Li Jinsong, the director-general of the Chinese Defence Ministry’s Asian affairs department, and Pradeep Kumar Rawat, India’s Ambassador to China.
Border tensions between India and China have increased since June 2020 when a violent face-off between Indian and Chinese soldiers took place in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley. It had led to the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers. Beijing had said that the clash left four of its soldiers dead.
