NEW DELHI, Sept 30: After remaining locked in a bitter face-situation for more than a fortnight Indian and Chinese’s troops will jointly celebrate 65th national day of China at a forward post at Spanggur Gap across the border in Ladakh tomorrow.
On the same venue, army commanders of the two sides met last Thursday where they agreed to end the stand-off in Chumar region which started on September 10 and tense situation had even overshadowed the Chinese President’s Xi Jinping visit to India.
As the two sides pulled back their troops from Chumar and the status quo ante was restored as it existed on September 1, sources said, a contingent of Indian Army troops will cross over the Line of Actual Control to participate in the event to be organised on the China’s national day.
The two sides have been holding such ceremonial meetings regularly since 1991 to maintain peace and tranquility on the LAC through the forums of flag meetings and BPMs.
During the event, Chinese cultural heritage will be displayed that included various cultural programmes by the Chinese troupe, officials said. (Agencies)
