On Sunday, the 13th Round of Talks between India and China over the standoff in Ladakh broke down as both countries pointed fingers at each other for it's responsibility.

The Indian side said that the Chinese side was not "agreeable" and "could not provide any forward looking proposals", while the Chinese side claimed that India made "unreasonable and unrealistic demand, adding difficulties to the negotiations".

"During the meeting, the Indian side (sic) made constructive suggestions for resolving the remaining areas but the Chinese side was not agreeable and also could not provide any forward looking proposals. The meeting thus did not result in resolution of the remaining areas" said the Indian Army in their statement and added that both sides have agreed to maintain communication and to maintain stability on the ground.

"The Indian side continued to insist on unreasonable and unrealistic demands which made the negotiations more difficult" said Long Shaohua, a spokesperson for the Chinese People's Liberation Army's Western command.

He added that he hoped India would not "misjudge the situation" and would work with China to maintain peace.

Armies of both countries have been on a major standoff at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh after a major fight broke out between the soldiers at the Galwan Valley in June 2020.
