In order to find a solution to the India-China standoff along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh, the 8th Corps Commander level meeting between both the countries is likely to take place next week. Earlier, on October 12 the 7th Corps Commander level meeting between India and China had lasted for a marathon 11 hours in Chushul. The Joint statement after the 7th Corps Commander level meeting was the third between the two countries in the last one and a half month. The first was after the foreign ministers' talks in Moscow and then after the 6th corps commanders talks. The India-China standoff began in April after Chinese troops crossed the Line of Actual Control and entered into Ladakh, Indian territory.
