External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the disengagement of troops has been achieved in «full» in eastern Ladakh through a step-by-step process, culminating in Depsang and Demchok, and India now expects the commencement of talks on remaining issues that it had placed on the agenda.
India was and it remained very clear that the three key principles must be observed in all circumstances, he said explaining: «one: both sides should strictly respect and observe the Line of Actual Control (LAC), two: neither side should attempt to unilaterally alter the status quo, and three: agreements and understandings reached in the past must be fully abided by in their entirety».
Jaishankar's detailed statement came weeks after Indian and Chinese militaries completed the disengagement of troops from two last face-off points in eastern Ladakh, effectively ending the over four-year military face-off along the LAC in eastern Ladakh.
«The next priority will be to consider de-escalation, that would address the massing of troops along the LAC with associated accompaniments,» he said.
