China's Defence Ministry on Thursday said that its military values its relations with the Indian counterpart. It asserts that the 20 rounds of Corps Commander-level talks have helped ease tensions amidst the eastern Ladakh standoff.
Indian and Chinese troops have been locked in confrontation for over three years at certain friction points in eastern Ladakh even as the two sides have completed a disengagement from several areas following diplomatic and military talks. India has maintained that ties with China cannot be normal unless there is peace in the border areas.
