On the 29th and 30th of August, the Indian military held a preemptive manoeuvre to gain control of the Chulshul sector. As a response to this China requested a meeting with Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.
During the meeting, Rajnath Singh took a swipe at China by saying that peace in the region “demands a climate of trust and cooperation, non-aggression, respect for international rules and norms, sensitivity to each other’s interest and peaceful resolution of differences.”
While there was no formal conclusion to the meeting it is being reported that India stuck to its bottom-line that China restores the status quo as it was in April before the tensions began.
