There were four-five points of friction between India and China during the border talks and the countries have resolved all but one, Army Chief General MM Naravane said.
India should not expect favourable outcome in every round of talks being held with China to settle border issues and "points of divergence" with the neighbouring country will be resolved as long as both the nations keep talking, Army Chief General MM Naravane said on Thursday.
"There were 4-5 points of friction (between India and China during the border talks) and we have resolved all but one. I am sure in another couple of rounds -- I can't give a definitive figure whether one more or two more -- we will be able to resolve these issues also as we proceed," Gen Naravane said.
Earlier this month, India and China failed to make any headway in resolving the 17-month standoff in the remaining friction points in eastern Ladakh during the 13th round of military talks between the two countries.
The Indian Army had on October 11 stated the "constructive suggestions" made by it at the 13th round of military talks were neither agreeable to the Chinese side nor Beijing could provide any "forward-looking" proposals.
