India and China hold first Corps Commander-level talks in Arunachal Pradesh

The armies of India and China are conducting their first-ever Corps Commander-level military talks in the eastern sector in Arunachal Pradesh. The meeting is scheduled for September 6 at the Wacha-Damai border meeting point along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Lt Gen Girish Kalia, the 3 Corps Commander, is leading the Indian delegation. The discussions aim to address ongoing issues and tensions in the region, particularly following reports of friction in the Taksing area of the Upper Subansiri district. The Indian Army has reportedly maintained a firm stance regarding the positioning of Chinese troops in disputed areas.

These talks follow a recent visit to China by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, which led to announcements regarding measures to maintain peace and stability along the LAC. While previous Corps Commander-level meetings have occurred in the Ladakh sector following the 2020 Galwan clashes, this marks a significant development for the eastern sector.
