New Delhi: India on Friday said it expects China to work with it through existing bilateral consultation mechanisms to ensure early completion of the disengagement process in the remaining areas in eastern Ladakh to allow both sides to consider de-escalation of forces.
The statement comes days after the armies of the two countries concluded withdrawal of troops and weapons from the north and south banks of the Pangong lake.
The assertion by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson, Anurag Srivastava, came a day after the Chinese foreign ministry again held India responsible for the border situation in eastern Ladakh.
