THE External Affairs Ministry (MEA) said on Friday that there is no contradiction regarding the situation along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh, following remarks by Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, who had indicated that a "degree" of standoff exists between Indian and Chinese forces in the region.

"We do not see any contradiction between the Army Chief's statement and the position we have taken," said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

Following an agreement on October 21, 2024, the Indian and Chinese militaries completed the disengagement of troops at the remaining friction points of Demchok and Depsang.

On October 23, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping held discussions on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Russia, agreeing to revive several bilateral dialogue mechanisms, signalling a desire to normalise the relations.
