New Delhi: Chinese Ambassador Le Yucheng today met senior officials in the External Affairs Ministry here today even as India said it has raised a couple of times the issue of continued standoff in Demchok and Chumar region with China -both here and in Beijing- in last one week.
"...Since our two leaders met and discussed issues relating to recent events on the border, there have been several follow-up issues that have been taken up by engagement at different levels in different places by India and China. In essence, I can tell you diplomacy is at work, it is quietly at work," the External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson has said.
According to sources, the matter has been raised by Indian mission in Beijing and also with the Chinese embassy officials here.
Significantly, Le's meeting comes a day after Indian Army said that Chinese Army has sought a flag meeting.
The two flag meetings in the last ten days had made no progress in resolving the crisis.
For over a week, 1000 Chinese and 1500 Indian soldiers have been ranged against each other on Indian Territory, after the Chinese incursion in the Indian territory in the region.
