China and India made progress in their latest talks on a long-running border dispute that turned deadly last month, a Chinese spokesperson said Wednesday.
Top commanders from the two sides held their fourth round of talks on Tuesday, a month after the deadly clash between their soldiers in the Galwan Valley, where India is building a strategic road connecting the region to an airstrip close to China.
"The two sides have made positive progress on pushing forward the disengagement of the front-line troops on the western section of the border and easing the border tension," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a daily briefing on Wednesday. It's very much a work in progress, Jaishankar said, adding that both sides agreed on the need to disengage because troops are deployed very close to each other.
