The US and Indian armed forces will participate in joint military exercises in the Indian state of Uttarakhand in October. It is located near the disputed area where the Indian-Chinese border crosses. This has been reported CNN citing a source among high-ranking Indian army soldiers.
According to the TV channel’s interlocutor, the exercises will be held at an altitude of 10,000 feet (3 thousand meters), approximately 95 km from the Actual Control Line.
The Pentagon told CNN that the US partnership with India is “one of the most important elements” of its shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
Formerly India she asked China will withdraw its troops from the two disputed areas in eastern Ladakh and resolve the issue of joint patrols in the third and largest disputed area in the Depsang Plain.
Clashes regularly take place on the India-China border due to unresolved territorial disputes. In October 2021, more than 100 soldiers of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army entered the territory that India considered its own. The conflict continued for several hours. As a result, the conflict was resolved through negotiations.
