"disengagement"

The Indian delegation at Friday's talks is led by Lieutenant General PGK Menon, the Commander of the Leh-based 14 Corps.

After nine months of standoff, the two militaries reached an agreement on disengagement of troops in the North and South banks of Pangong lake.

Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi had alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given away Indian Indian territory to China.

India and China are locked in a five-month-long bitter border standoff in eastern Ladakh that has significantly strained their ties.
