The government on Wednesday said it will continue discussions with China to achieve the objective of disengagement of troops from all friction points and restoration of peace and tranquillity in eastern Ladakh at an early date.

Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said this in Lok Sabha

while replying to a question on details of in-person and virtual meetings between India and China since the standoff began last year.

The minister's comments came on a day the Chinese defence ministry said in Beijing that Indian and Chinese troops started "synchronised" disengagement at the south and north banks of Pangong Lake in eastern Ladakh.
