Since since, the border standoff has persisted despite numerous rounds of diplomatic and military negotiations that have failed to produce any positive outcomes. The foreign secretary said at a special MEA briefing here that the two sides struck an agreement following multiple rounds of negotiations over the previous three weeks between diplomatic and military negotiators."...Chinese and Indian military and diplomatic negotiators have been in constant communication.
