The dialogue will be held under the framework of Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China Borders Affairs.

Both sides are expected to think of ways to prevent a recurrence of the Chumar like face off between the armies of the two countries.

The Border Affairs Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination, which was established in 2012, has played a major role in addressing the issues arising of aggressive patrolling by both sides of the disputed border.
