Giving details of the expected meeting, Times Now’s Srinjoy Chowdhury, said that New Delhi has categorically stated to Beijing that if the border issues are to be solved then Chinese troops have to vacate the territories (Despang, Pangong) where they are camping. He further reported that before May, the Chinese were at Finger 8 and they moved to Finger 4 and later moved to Finger 5. India has made it clear that the Chinese would have to go back to Finger 8.
