China proposed a code conduct for the militaries in addition to the standard operating procedures outlined in the BDCA which reportedly figured in the current round of talks.
There was no word yet from Indian officials on the outcome of the dialogue.
Qin said details of the talks would be released after they conclude tomorrow. “Both China and India attach great importance to maintaining peace and tranquillity at the border areas,” he said.
“Over recent years in accordance with the bilateral relations as well as the actual conditions at the border areas, we have taken positive steps in safeguarding tranquillity and peace in the border areas and we have reached series of agreements including the agreement on border defence cooperation,” he said.
“All this has played a very important role in promoting our mutual trust as well as stability in border areas,” he said.
A visit by Chinese Defence Minister Cheng Wanquang to India has been planned later this year while the two countries have also planned their annual military exercises in India.
Indian naval vessel INS Shivalik took part in recent 65th celebrations of Chinese People's liberation Navy (PLAN) held at Qingdao port in China.
