Indian, Chinese armies celebrate at Nathu La Pass

Nathu La Pass: As China showcased its 70th National Day celebrations with an extravagant show of military power in Beijing, senior Indian Army officers in key sectors along the disputed frontier between the two nations crossed over into China to join the celebrations.

The Border Post Meetings, a key confidence building measure between both sides, comes at a time when there has been tension in the Ladakh region.

Last month, there were skirmishes between Indian and Chinese soldiers on the North Bank of the Pangong Lake when soldiers clashed due to deferring interpretations of the Line of Actual Control.

The situation was de-escalated after senior officers of both sides met.
