Hindustan Times reported that the military dialogue lasted for 15 hours.

However, the outcome of the meeting is not yet known, the publication said citing officials aware of the development.

One of the officials was quoted as saying: “The ground situation remains as it was in August-September (when the Indian Army took control of key heights on the southern bank of Pangong Tso). The military dialogue alone is unlikely to yield results. Diplomatic efforts will have to progress simultaneously.”

Another official added: “Neither side is willing to vacate the positions held by them. It seems unlikely that the standoff will be resolved in the short term. However, talks will go on as it is important not to break communication.”
