After the Doklam standoff with Chinese army failed to get resolved even after a month, the Ministry of External Affairs today said they have been coordinating with Bhutan to find a mutually-acceptable solution. India has been in continuous coordination and consultation with Bhutan on the Doklam issue, external affairs ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay said. Asked about China's claim of India reducing its troops from 400 to 40 in Doklam, he refused to give a direct reply calling it an operational matter. China has demanded that India withdraw its troops for dialogue to begin, while New Delhi says that both sides should simultaneously withdraw troops.
