New Delhi:
India and China will hold military talks in Ladakh on Saturday June 6, amid the border deadlock between the armed forces of the two countries close to eastern Ladakh.
The talks have been requested by India and will be held in the meeting hut of the Indian border points in Chushul-Moldo.
India will be headed by Lieutenant-General Harinder Singh, commander of the 14 corps.
