India on Monday pressed for early disengagement of troops in remaining friction points in eastern Ladakh during a fresh round of high-level military talks with China, people familiar with the matter said.
The Indian delegation at the 19th round of Corps Commander-level talks especially called for the resolution of issues in Depsang Plains and Demchok, they said.
The around 10-hour talks took place at the Chushul-Moldo border point on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the region.
