Indian Army stated that discussions focused on resolution of remaining issues along Line of Actual Control. Calling out "unilateral attempts" by People's Liberation Army to alter status quo, it recalled that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi h agreed in ir recent meeting in Dushanbe to resolve remaining issues at earliest. At same time, it ded that two sides have agreed to maintain communications and stability on ground.

two countries' foreign ministers have reached a five-point consensus on continuing dialogue and quickly disengage, while honouring all existing agreements and protocol on China-India boundary affairs.  Over 12 rounds of military talks, Chinese People's Liberation Army has retreated from Finger 4 area and Patrol point 14 along LAC, while India pre-empted PLA activity on Sourn Bank of Pangong Tso Lake capturing positions of 'strategic importance' in Fingers area. While disengagement has completed north and south of Pangong Tso, it is yet to be completed in friction points such as Hot Springs, Gogra and Depsang. 20 jawans were martyred on June 5-6, 2020 amid a violent face-off between Indo-China troops at LAC's Galwan Valley.
