NEW DELHI (PTI): Notwithstanding the incursion by Chinese troops in Ladakh, India has gone ahead with the visit of an Army delegation to Beijing to finalise the dates of bilateral military exercise expected to be held later this year.
Sources here said the decision to send the delegation was taken to avoid any escalation in the situation after the Chinese incursion was detected in Daulat Beg Oldi area in Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir more than a week ago.
The delegation is being headed by a Brigadier from the Military Operations Branch and it will finalise the date for the third edition of the hand-to-hand exercise between the two sides after a gap of four years, sources told PTI here.
The exercise is expected to be held in September-October this year, they said.
