NEW DELHI:

The meeting was part of efforts by the two sides to normalise bilateral relations since they reached an understanding last October to end the military standoff in Ladakh sector of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). It also came in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent remarks about India-China cooperation being essential for global stability and prosperity.
