Both sides have agreed to continue with talks, which can happen at “various levels”, they said. “Some forward movement” in discussions on friction points at Hot Springs and Gogra Post can be expected first before any move on the more contentious Depsang Plains, they said.
Referring to the latest talks on the Chinese side of the Moldo-Chushul meeting point in Ladakh, sources said: “All contentious issues, including Hot Springs, Gogra, Depsang Plains and Demchok, were discussed. Proposals have been exchanged and a way forward will be decided after each country discusses the proposals at their end. We may see a quicker result on Gogra and Hot Springs as disengagement at these friction points had begun in July last year itself but remained partial. The success of Pangong Tso disengagement has given us hopes of resolving the unfinished business at Gogra and Hot Springs,” said an official.
In Hot Springs and Gogra Post areas, Chinese and Indian troops are still in a faceoff, nine months after the military standoff began in May 2020. Disengagement of troops in these two areas was attempted last July but Chinese reluctance to complete the process led to a stalemate.
