BEIJING: The Chinese and Indian militaries should strictly abide by the recent common understandings reached by the two sides to de-escalate tensions at the border areas, make efforts to bring down the tensions and focus on enhancing mutual trust and exchanges between the two countries, Chinese Defense Ministry Spokesman, Senior Col. Wu Qian said on Thursday.

“We hope the two sides can seize the opportunity and build new momentum to make new progress in the military-to-military relations,” he said during his monthly briefing.

He said that the militaries of China and India are making great progress in implementing the disengagement agreement to end over four-year-long standoff in eastern Ladakh.

“We also look forward to a harmonious dance between the Chinese dragon and Indian Elephant with concerted steps,” he said while addressing the monthly media briefing here.

He said Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun had a positive and constructive meeting in Vientiane, the capital city of Laos, on the sidelines of a regional security conclave, last week.

The two sides are implementing the settlement reached between the two counties, Wu Qian said, answering a question on the progress of the agreement reached between India and China last month to end the standoff in eastern Ladakh.

The two ministers agreed to implement the important consensus reached between the top leaders and promote stable relations between India and China, the spokesman said. –APP
