Any build-up from the Chinese side will be matched by build up of Indian troops as well, and New Delhi will continue with infrastructure development in eastern Ladakh, where Indian and Chinese troops have been involved in a face-for over three weeks, Lt General S L Narasimhan, member of the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB), said on Thursday.

Without disclosing exactly when diplomatic talks over the issue began, Narasimhan confirmed that “talks started much before last week”.

Narasimhan also told The Indian Express that compared to the Doklam standoff of 2017, the Chinese side appears to be more aggressive this time, even as the strength of their troops is not as much.
