A ceremonial meeting of India and China's border personnel was held today on the occasion of the '67th Chinese national day', at the Chinese border personnel meeting huts at Chushul and at Daulat Beg Oldi in Ladakh.

While the Indian delegations were led by Brigadier RS Raman in Chushul and Colonel BS Uppal in DBO, the Chinese delegations were led by Senior Colonel Fan Jun in Chushul and Colonel Song Zhang Li in DBO.

Both the delegations saluted the Chinese national flag, which was followed by a ceremonial address by both delegation leaders. Then came a cultural programme showcasing Chinese culture, and which was rounded off by a sumptuous lunch.

The continuing interaction between the border troops of both nations has 'created an environment of mutual trust and bonhomie along the Line of Actual Control. It is evident that both the armies are making all efforts to maintain peace and stability in the border areas and this augurs well for the ensuing border talks,' a release from the defence spokesperson S D Goswami said.
