NEW DELHI: Amid decreasing tension, China has admitted for the first time that its soldiers were killed in Galvan. Eight months after the biggest military confrontation between the two neighbors in over five decades, China has shared information about the four soldiers killed during the clash in June last year. In this clash, 20 soldiers of India were martyred. China too had admitted casualties of its soldiers but had not yet given the number.
The revelation has come a day before the scheduled 10th round of high-level military talks on Saturday to take forward the disengagement process in Hot Springs, Gogra, and Depsang in eastern Ladakh. India and China have completed the withdrawal of troops and weapons from the north and south banks of Pangong lake, sources said on Friday.
China’s military authorities have honored two officers and three soldiers, including four who received the awards posthumously, for defending the country’s western border, the official Xinhua news agency reported, quoting The People’s Liberation Army Daily, the newspaper of the Chinese military.
Three PLA soldiers were killed in the combat while another soldier died while crossing the icy river when he went to support his army mates, the Xinhua report said.
