The current situation at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh dominated the meeting between the External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Dushanbe. Recalling the February pact between the two countries that led to disengagement at Pangong lake, Jaishankar called for "resolving the remaining issues along the LAC in Eastern Ladakh at the earliest". While disengagement at Pangong Lake is over, the situation in areas like hots springs and Gogra remains the same. During the talks on Wednesday, the focus was also on holding the next round of military talks. Both sides already have had a diplomatic round of talks, known as WMCC or Working Mechanism for Consultation & Coordination in June.
