The severity of the situation gradually eased from Thursday evening, when it receded in the north and east of the country
"Both the countries have agreed that an early resolution would contribute to the further development of the relationship," the Ministry said.
India and China are holding a dialogue to resolve the standoff situation in Ladakh region, particularly on the north bank of Pangong Tso lake where the Chinese People's Liberation Army has attempted to change the status quo by putting up shelters and a camp in areas under Indian control so far.
Before this dialogue, talks between Major General-ranked officers of the two countries took place on June 2 that remained "inconclusive".
A clash took place at Pangong Tso lake on May 5 between troops of both armies, leaving several from both sides wounded.
Sources pointed out that the standoff was not a spontaneous reaction to India's road construction in Ladakh. Unusual activities were first noticed a few weeks before the clash in May.
The current standoff in Ladakh is not the usual patrolling faceoff but part of the new combative strategy that was rolled out by China after the 73-day standoff between Indian and China in Doklam sector in 2017.
