India-China Conflict Will Mark Two Years in May 2022
May this year will mark two since the conflict began in 2020 after clashes erupted in the Pangong Lake area between Indian and Chinese forces.
Since the May 2020 clashes, many rounds of talks have been held for the disengagement of troops. There had been no headway in the resolution talks at the 14th round of the India-China Corps Commander level meeting on 12 January and the 13th meeting on 10 October 2021 resulted in a stalemate, as both sides failed to make any headway.
The 12th round had led to the successful disengagement from Gogra.
