A standoff between Indian and Chinese soldiers near Pangong lake in Ladakh occurred on Wednesday, however, it subsequently resolved through delegation-level talks.
The exchange triggered after Chinese Army personnel objected to patrol by Indian soldiers in the area. The incident occurred due to deferring perceptions about the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China.
Both the sides stake claim over the more than 130 km which extends between both India and Chinese controlled Tibet area.
“There was a face-off between the two armies but it got over after the delegation-level talks between two sides,” Indian Army said in a statement.

“The face-off is over now and it had de-escalated and disengaged fully after delegation-level talks yesterday,” Indian Army said.
The force also stated that such incidents happen due to differing perceptions of the LAC and there are established mechanisms to resolve such differences.
Incidentally, the confrontation took place in the same area where Indian and Chinese troops had engaged in a bitter scuffle during the Doklam standoff.
