The Chinese side has repeatedly stated that the cause of the incident was that the Indian army frontline troops openly broke the understanding reached at the commander-level meeting between the two sides, and once again deliberately provoked and violently attacked Chinese officers and men who crossed the actual control line to negotiate on the spot, resulting in fierce physical conflicts and casualties between the two sides.
After the incident, China and India communicated and coordinated through military and diplomatic channels. The two sides agreed to handle the serious situation caused by the conflict in Garewan Valley fairly and abide by the understanding reached at the commander-level meeting between the two countries, so as to cool the local situation as soon as possible and maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas.
