India and China are set to hold the fifth round of Corps Commander level talks on Sunday, to work out modalities of Pangong Tso area and Gogra where the disengagement between the troops of the two countries has not happened.

The fifth round of Corps Commander level talks will be held in Moldo on the Chinese side. The situation on Pangong Tso lake is likely to be the agenda of the fifth round of Corps Commander level talks.

The standoff at Patrolling Point 17A at Gogra, where disengagement between the Indian and the Chinese troops has not taken place yet, is also likely to feature in the fifth round of Corps Commander level talks.

In Pangong Tso area in eastern Ladakh, the Chinese troops have strengthened their positions between Finger 5 and 8. India is likely to take this up at the 5th round of Corps Commander-level talks today.

People familiar with the developments said the Chinese military has pulled back from Galwan Valley and certain other friction points but the withdrawal of troops has not moved forward from Finger 5 to Finger 8 in Pangong Tso area as demanded by India.

The previous talks took place on July 14.

So far, senior military commanders of the two armies have held four rounds of talks on disengagement of troops from the friction points in eastern Ladakh with an aim to restore peace and tranquility in the region.

The sources said the ongoing engagement and dialogue at military and diplomatic levels have resulted in complete disengagement of troops at patrolling point 14, 15 and 17 A in eastern Ladakh.
