The Chinese Army on Thursday said progress is being made in the withdrawal of Indian and Chinese troops from disputed points in eastern Ladakh as per the recent agreement. However, she refrained from commenting on whether the withdrawal of troops has been completed or not.

The Chinese Army has made this comment for the first time after the agreement on withdrawal of troops between the two countries on October 21. China and India have resolved the border issue through diplomatic and military means, Zhang Xiaogang, spokesman for China's Ministry of National Defense, said in an interview with the media. The armies of both the countries are being systematically withdrawn from the fronts and progress is being made towards implementing the agreement.

Try not to spoil the relationship

Zhang said the two countries agreed that China and India should evaluate bilateral relations strategically and keeping in mind long-term interests and strive to ensure that differences on specific issues are resolved between the two countries. Don't spoil the relationship. We hope that India will consider the important agreement with China on this issue as a guide and will try to maintain peace, stability and harmonious situation on the border by implementing its proposals. The Indian Army on Wednesday said that the armies of both the countries have retreated from two disputed sites in Demchok and Depsang plains in eastern Ladakh. Patrolling will be started at this point as soon as possible.

China refuses to comment on Demchok and Depsang issue

However, when the Chinese spokesperson was asked whether troops had been withdrawn from the disputed sites in Demchok and Depsang, he declined to comment. He also maintained silence on the issue of patrolling at these disputed places. Colonel Zhang said that I do not have any information to answer this question. Regarding the bilateral agreement on troop withdrawal, Zhang said that Xi Jinping met Indian PM Modi during the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia.
