The Ministry of External Affairs announced that senior military officials from India and China met for Corps Commander‑level discussions on Sunday and Monday, focusing on the eastern sector of their disputed border. The talks were led by Lt General Girish Kalia, commander of the Indian Army’s III (Spear) Corps, and his Chinese counterpart, with participation from other senior officers.
The bilateral sessions took place on September 6 at Wacha, Arunachal Pradesh, and on September 7 at Damai across the Line of Actual Control. The meetings were convened under the framework established by the Special Representatives of the two countries in August 2025 and August 2026, and followed recent Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) meetings in May and August 2026. Indian troops remain heavily deployed in the Upper Subansiri district to deter any escalation.
These talks occur against a backdrop of heightened sensitivity in the Taksing region and precede a likely visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to India for the BRICS summit on September 12‑13. The dialogue reflects ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilize the frontier after a senior‑level encounter in Beijing on August 25 between NSA Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and underscores the importance of military-to-military channels in managing the long‑standing border dispute.
